Art Club (part 4)

 

 

 

We had our last art class on Saturday. The group did 2

projects. The first was a painting with a sunset background

and silhouette foreground.

 

They used watery tempura paints for the sunset, thick

black paint for the foreground and black ink for

the branches which they made by blowing through a straw.

 

The giraffes and elephants were stamps. They had to make

sure they used alot of paint on the stamps so that

they came out well.

 

(Here's our mum's example below)

 

 

And here are the brilliant paintings the girls came up

with mashaAllah!

Next they made butterflies out of toilet roll tubes covered

in pretty paper. The same paper was used for the wings and

sequins, beads were used to decorate.

Pipe cleaners and pom poms

were used for antennas.

 

Zainabs butterfly is the one on the left with

the pointy wings.

 

 

 

 

We hope you have enjoyed looking at the projects.

Art Club (part 3)

This week the theme was SPRINGTIME, so that means flowers.

 

The girls made paper plate flowers. They painted them, decorated them,

snipped the petals, made the stems using either straw, wool or pipe cleaners

and finished off making a vase. Everything was stuck onto a background

which were polystyrene sheets painted in whatever colour they liked.

 

Enjoy the lovely designs!

 

 

 

We had a template cut out of the vase. It was traced around onto

some drawing paper. Then the girls cut around the shape and

glue patterned paper to it.

 

 

 

Cutting around the plates to make the petals.

 

Laying out the pieces was the fun part!

Zainab's Recycled Fruity Tree

 

 

Zainab has been collecting metal bottle tops and corks for a very long time.

So she decided to use them to do a recycling art project. You will need

the help of an adult for cutting the corks because they are difficult

to cut through.

 

 

Materials:

 

Canvas Board

 

Metal bottle tops

(or plastic ones if you like but

metal ones look nicer and shiny),

 

Corks

 

Strong glue

 (we used a hot glue gun

but you will need an adult to help you)

 

 

First of all Zainab arranged the cork pieces onto the plain

canvas, you could paint the canvas first if you like. She made the trunk,

from the corks which were cut in half. This makes them easy to stick.

Then the corks were cut into circles for the branches.

After placing the tree trunk and branches down, she

arranged the different coloured bottle tops around the tree.

Each colour is a fruit, the light green ones are green apples,

the blue ones are blueberries, the red ones are cherries and

the dark green ones are the leaves.

 

Once everything was in place the pieces were hot glued to the canvas.

 

Hope you like the Fruity Tree!

 

 

 

 

 

 The birds were circular cork pieces cut in half.

The corks were also cut into strips for some

of the fruit that are hanging from the tree

and for the ones that have fallen onto the golden ground.
