The Bigger Project

1. Construction Paper & Crayon

Mrs. Oliver's 1st grade class

2. Sharpie, Crayon Resist with Tempera Cakes

Use a large brush to paint the background with tempera cakes.

When you use the watered tempera cakes over the crayon, it will resist the paint and rise above.

Use a smaller brush to fill in the curly spirally wool with various colors.
Be bold ad brave with your colors.

Eli Halpin's sheep 

Eli is a Texas artist in Austin. She paints western animals using a very unique color and texture ideas. Students discuss her ideas of color variety vs. real life colors in the sheep.

Kids are able to ride on the back of sheep and hold on as tight and long as possible to win a belt buckle! This is modeled after the big boy bull rides at the Texas Livestock Show & Rodeo.

SKETCHING

First students will practice with drawing the shapes and details of the Alpaca's face.

When they are comfortable, we will move to the final paper.

DRAWING

Face can be drawn in upper half of paper to show off the long neck.

Start lightly with a pencil (always)

Then when it looks how you like it, go over with marker or make lines darker.

COLORING

Students will color alpaca using oil pastels or crayons. They need to use at least three colors blended on the entire alpaca. 

I will show them three ideas from these sources...

The edges need to be colored the hardest (for later resist purposes).

Students will be encouraged to color Alpaca in unnatural colors.
