Week 1: Magical abstract drawing construction. We will turn our drawings of shapes, lines and colours, into 3D constructions, inspired by the vibrant and playful work of Joan Miró.
Week 2: Yayoi Kusama-inspired Plasticine garden. We will make a 3-D relief picture by shaping Plasticine into spheres and coils.
Week 3: Hand-print creatures and texture painted papers. Get messy this week: paint, draw, create shapes and textures, blend colours. Make room for the artworks to dry and to clean up at the end.
Week 4: Inspired collage, shapes and compositions: Use the texture papers you created and make shapes and compositions from them. Collage artwork of a insect, bird, fish or animal of your choice, inspired by the beautiful illustrations by Eric Carle and artwork by Kenojuak Ashevak.
Week 5: Paper pop-up sculpture; 3-D park construction inspired by Alexander Calder.
We will combine drawings with 3-D constructing to create an imaginary play park.
