This resource is part of a collection called Teaching Art to Year Three.
Based around an exploration of an historic painting (Penelope with the Suitors by Pintoriccho), the project shared below presents three activities which develop drawing, collage and printing skills, culminating in a modern interpretation of an old master and the creation of a collaborative artwork.
Week 1 Drawing Objects that Feature in the Painting
With marker pens on large newsprint paper, pupils drew objects that they identified as key features in the painting which they studied.
They used props from the Drama department for observation and children also resourced objects and took photos themselves as reference such as plastic animals, boots, hat, toy ship, wool, bow and arrow, weaving shuttle and costumes. Some used printed images as sources including a bird, loom and mermaid. A continuous line was encouraged, to create an expressive style. No pencils or erasers were allowed.
