Welcome, Year 8 artists! Today, we're embarking on a creative journey that melds the beauty of the natural world with your artistic expression.
To kick off our lesson, we're going to participate in a dynamic and immersive activity called Nature's Palette. Here’s how it works:
Step Outside: Let's take a brief walk around the school grounds or your local environment—wherever you can observe nature's wonders. Bring along your sketchbook and some coloured pencils or paints.
Observation: As you wander, focus on the details. Look for patterns in leaves, the play of light through branches, or the vibrant colours of flowers. Jot down your thoughts or sketch quick impressions of what you see.
Collect Natural Items: If possible, gather small natural items (like leaves, flowers, or stones) that catch your eye. These will become part of your art project later on.
Back to the Classroom: Once back in the classroom, we’ll discuss the various shapes, colours, and textures you've observed. This will inspire our main art project for the lesson.
As we settle back in, let's contemplate the following questions:
Let’s share our ideas, and prepare to dive deeper into creating our own artworks that reflect the splendor of nature!
With our minds buzzing with inspiration and our natural materials at hand, we’ll transition into our main activity: creating a piece of art that captures the essence of the nature we’ve observed. Whether it’s a painting, a collage, or a mixed-media piece, let your creativity flow!
Remember, the goal is to not just represent nature, but to express how it makes you feel through your unique artistic lens. Let's get started!
