Another project that I did two years ago, this dovetails with the 5th-6th study of ancient Greece. The kids viewed some examples of the shapes and decorations of greek vases. Then they folded the orange paper in half and drew half the vase. I did not limit their shapes but did want them to put handles and base and top on it. Then they decorated with black marker to simulate repeating design and athletic figures.

This is one of my all time favourite pieces that I have done with a class. I adore Klimt and came up with this idea that involves: Splodging a watered down golden/brown acrylic paint for the background. On another piece of paper paint flowers using three different colours using water colours then paint green background, cut the piece of paper to form a wavy top. Take a photo of the child in a 'Klimt' position- either sleeping or a calm face. Using a laser colour printer, print the photo's and glue them onto a piece of A3 cartridge. Sketch the outline shape of the hood and cloak. Here is where you talk alot about proportion, pattern and shape. Show the children a variety of painting techniques including, scraffido (scratching the paint with a toothpick or end of the paintbrush), collage- layering pre painted papers and pointillism (dots). Ask the children to include patterns that Klimt used eg. circles/ ovals, rectangles, eyes, flowers and swirls. Paint all the sections with a background colour first, then add the different techniques in each, being mindful not to have the same two beside each other. Ones all complete, allow the children to choose if they would like to add black/gold lines between their sections- adding dots on the lines can be quite effective as well as in the hair. Cut out the self portrait and glue onto the background of gold splodging and water coloured flowers. Add flowers and tassels in the hair or side of the cloak using gold paper and premade painted paper. And there you have it- Klimt Inspirations
