Visual Arts Challenge 2

To help you focus your thinking for your second Visual Arts Workshop the Teaching Artists have designed an activity that will take you about 1 hour to complete.

 

You will find details of the Second Visual Arts Challenge here.

 

• Warming Up

  • • Take an A4 sheet of paper and cut a 21 by 21 cm square 

    • Fold your square in half, marking the crease and open the sheet 

    • Fold the paper edges to the centre and crease. Open up again

    • Fold the other edges to the centre and crease.

    • Fold each corner from the nearest crease towards the edge of the paper, leaving around 1 cm from the edge to form a flap 

    You should end up with an uneven octagon 

    • Fold back the edges  over the triangular corners to make a flap

    • Pull the flaps outwards to make a box. You may have to re-crease some of the folds to shape your box

    • You are required to bring your box to the workshop 

     

• Now to the second part of your Arts Challenge.

   

• Create  a Visual story in 5 frames (avoid using words/additional text) using the text provided (framing text)

We worked in a big garden near the creek.

There were two water tanks and a

windmill next to the garden.

We had to work very hard in the hot sun.

One day, in the vet season, the people

working in the garden saw a storm,

with a big wind, coming in from the south.

There was something

inside that storm!

The old men saw it coming across the creek.
