Halloween Agamograph Art Activity

(0)
Agamographs provide a fun unique way of viewing art. My students are fascinated and get so excited with this art idea. This resource is a hands-on Halloween themed 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; colouring-in materials (pencils, felts, etc), scissors, glue-sticks. This resource has 7 Halloween themed images (owl, jack-o-lantern basket, witch dress-up and cauldron, haunted house, spooky tree and graveyard, ghosts and candy), paired into all 21 combinations to put together and create the agamograph. This resource is excellent for creating a quick piece art to display. This also can give you an insight to your students’ favorite or best subjects at school! There are two levels of challenge; the final image is composed of 8 strips (4 strips for one Halloween image and 4 strips for the other), suitable for younger students the final image is composed of 16 strips (8 strips for one Halloween image and 8 strips for the other) I have also included blank templates for students to create their own two images to combine.

Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar

(0)
An Advent Calendar that promotes thinking of others. Instead of finding a gift for oneself behind the door of each day in this calendar behind each door is an act of kindness for the student to perform. Although it can be made in one extended session of work allow your class two or three sessions to make this a high presentation advent calendar that each student can take home and use. Students will choose a front image to cut doors into. Using the doors they then stencil the location for the acts of kindness on to a backing sheet. After writing in their acts of kindness the two sheets are glued together to form an Advent calendar. This resource includes; instructions a range of Christmas images to use a list of suggested acts of kindness.

Halloween Zentangles, No Prep Colouring Pages

(0)
These are 6 Halloween themed zentangle coloring-in sheets. I have created these to be easier than the typical zentangle, which can be very detailed and complicated. This allows younger students to be able to create zentangles in a shorter time frame. The colouring-in sheets can be used for Halloween themed academic work, fast finishers, bell ringers, independent work or indoor recess. The 6 images are; pumpkin, bat, haunted house, witch’s hat, candy corn and ghost. The ghost has two choices - open mouth or smiling. The candy corn has two zentangle options - easy and full. The images also come as blank outlines with no zentangle patterns in place, allowing for students to create their own patterns within the image. This resource includes; 15 zentangle images, with and without borders 15 blank outline images, with and without borders This is a total of 30 sheets. These zentangle images are not for commercial use in digital products.
