Description of Acitivites
I will prepare a teaching section to instruct art knowledge and techniques of clay painting. The lesson covers understanding color schemes, sponging techniques, low relief and high relief. Throughout the section, I am willing to answer any question and clear steps to deal with potential situations
Rational
This specific task can show the student's art understandings in both sculpture and painting, It also indicates teaching skills, problem solving skills and communication skills to explain the work process, clear solutions in particular situations, and encourage learners' passion in art. Effective teaching can be operation in the important business functions. Teachers oversee students' demands in education, plan instructions and go through the learning processes with students. Teachers continuously develop teaching strategies based on students' works and reactions.
Required Materials
- Personal Clay Sculpture
- a Sponge
- a Platelet
- Gouache Liquide (three primary colors)
- a Water Container
- Newspaper
- Tissue (optional)
Details of Activity
1. Preparation
- Prepare all the required materials and get your personal sculpture ready before starting the clay painting.
- Think about what color scheme you will use depend on the sculpture's base color.
2. Sponging Technique 1
- Applying knowledge of color schemes, use dry sponge to mix primary colors and obtain secondary colors or intermediate colors.
- Keep in mind that you only need a little bit color on your sponge
3. Sponging Technique 2
- Tap sponge on the sculpture, creating thin layers of different paints on the surface
- It is important to plan where you will paint the color to ensure visual movement and visual weight
- Make sure paints not applying on the low relief
4. Sponging Technique (3)
- Make sure the slow transition from one color to another without obvious lines in between
- Walk around to check effects and think about further improvements
5. Finger Painting
- You also can use fingers to mix and paint colors if it is easier for you to see the color transition.
6. Flat Surfaces
- Paint shades and highlights on the flat surface, making it look more three-dimensional
- Make sure the slow color transition from one color to another
7. Cleaning the Sponge
- Constantly clean the sponge before applying another color
- The cleaned sponge with water is helpful to erase paints and fix mistakes on the sculpture
8. Using Brush
- Use a wet brush to take away small areas of unwanted paints and thick layers before drying
9. Completion
- After finishing, place personal sculpture back to the plate on the shelf and let it dry for one day
Special Instruction
Be careful with paints spilling on the clothes during the work process.
