Painting with coffee

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.

This is a fun photography based lesson that focuses on the use of leading lines for effective composition. The task sheet includes links to videos explaining the concept of leading lines and gives visual examples and key terms. Students are asked to take a series of photographs using their phone or camera look for leading lines around the home to create interesting compositions. This could be set as homework or for approximately a one hour lesson.
