I have used this project for a number of years with Year 8 groups. It is designed to introduce students to artifacts from a non European culture and develop their skills in 3D modeling techniques. Students also explore cultural reference to animals and develop skills in mark making when painting/drawing their animal as well as developing design skills when designing their own masks.
This task could be set as homework, used in a one hour lesson or as part of a wider photography project.
The task, asks students to work creatively with creating unusual and experimental view finders. Working from a number of prompts, students will creatively use framing to make great images.
Lesson also includes a link to a YouTube video for inspiration or as a starting point.
This is a single task with a You tube tutorial I made to demonstate how coffee can be used as an alternative to paint.
This is great as a home learning task as it gives students the option to create a piece of art without the need for paints, using something they proably have at home.
To video demos the drawing of a shell and tonal detail added with coffee.
