Thanksgiving Agamograph, 11 pages, video

Agamographs provide a fun unique way of viewing art.

This resource is a fun hands-on Thanksgiving activity that combines two separate images into one are piece, which the viewer can then see – from different angles - each picture independently.

This activity involves coloring-in, cutting, gluing and folding. You will require; coloring-in materials (pencils, felts, etc), scissors, glue-sticks.

This resource has two Thanksgiving images (a Pilgrim hat and Mayflower ship) to put together and create the agamograph.

There are two levels of challenge;

1. the final image is composed of 8 strips (4 strips for the hat and 4 strips for the ship)

2. the final image is composed of 16 strips (8 strips for the hat and 8 strips for the ship)

I have also included blank templates for students to create their own two images to combine.

This resource also has a short stopmotion video demonstrating the construction of the agamograph. Note: this is my first ever TES video and while the quality is not blockbuster material, it does show how the art is made.
