Gateway Online Class

H E L LO !

Session Four 16th April

 Hello again to the Gateway Gang!

In this document I have a written instructions to accompany the video I made for this
weeks class. I used household items for all projects so hopefully you will have some/all of
the materials at hand!

There are three options of tasks to complete this week. Once you have experimented
with each task, I would like you to try and combine the projects!

I hope you are all keeping well... I have missed you!

producing a 'series'
Explanation : A series is a collection of artworks that when viewed leaves no doubt the same artist created them all. There
is a running theme through the work the viewer can look at the collection and understand more easily what the artist is
trying to convey. Below is an image of a series of paintings.

Materials needed : any thing you want!

Step 1 -  Think about what you want to be the subject of your series. Why did you choose this? What is it about this object/ topic that excited you?
Step 2 -  Think about the medium you are choosing to make this work in and why. Gather your materials and props.
Step 3 - Start making! Challenge yourself and question yourself through your art work. But most of all, enjoy!
collage and drawing mix
Materials needed : magazine/newspaper, paper, pen and glue.

Step 1 - Gather your materials.

Step 2 -  Cut out a few images from a magazine or newspaper that excite you, if you find something
funny or beautiful. 

Step 3 - Stick the images down to a piece of paper and then join the dots with drawings. You can do this
with the aim to fill in the blanks in a narrative for your image or create a wacky piece of abstract art!
paper kite
Materials needed : Light paper, straws/ light twigs, tape, string, empty toilet roll.

Step 1 - Gather your materials.

Step 2 -  Cut a small slit vertically up one straw to allow it to slide into a second
straw. Thus creating one long straw.

Step 3 - Take a 3rd staw and attach it like a cross 1/3 from the top of the long
straw. Creating a crucifix.

Step 4 - Tape your straws to a light sheet of paper ie newsprint or wrapping

paper. Do this by placing a small piece of tape at the end of each arm.

Step 5 -  Carefully cut your paper to a diamond shape. Cutting from the end of
each arm in a diagonal to meet another arm.

Step 6 - Take an empty toliet roll and attach a piece of string with tape. Wrap
this string around the toilet roll generously, and cut.

Step 7 -  Take the loose end of this string and tie it to the center of your cross.

Step 8 -  Take her out for a spin on a windy day! Its best when you are standing
on a slope :)
 THANK YOU!
