Art- Friday
African
patterns.
African art
is bursting with patterns and bright colours!
Can you
think of any patterns?
Spots,
lines, dots, spirals, zig zags, crosses, curves and shapes can all become a
form of pattern.
When we
draw a pattern one important element is to repeat the same pattern, this is
called a repeat pattern.
Look at the
photos below can you spot the repeat pattern? Have a go at creating your own
repeat pattern using lots of bright colours.
For example
you might draw a long line of flowers, then a long line of red dots, then a zig
zag. To make this a repeat pattern you would draw a long line of flowers again,
then red dots and then a zig zag.
Keep going
until you have completely filled the whole of your page with pattern and
colour.
Send in
your finished work.

Art- Wednesday
In
Africa wearing jewellery is quite popular. Traditional jewellery is usually big
and bold often in bright colours.
Below
is a wonderful necklace that I came across.
To
make this you will need some pasta, a paper plate, some string and straws.
Ask
an adult to a cut circle in the middle. At the top of your circle cut out a
little gap for it to be able to go around your neck. Colour in your paper plate
using bright colours. Stick the pasta around your plate in any pattern you
like.
Next
attach some string to the bottom of your plate and add some pasta to that as
well. Remember to put a knot on the end to stop the pasta falling off.
Send in a photo of you wearing your new jewellery!

Can
you think of any animals that live in a hot country like Africa?
Africa
is home to lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, hyenas, meerkats, snakes and
lizards.
For
you African animal mask you will need to go find some cardboard and paint.
Cut
out each shape you need for your animal for example the nose, mouth, face, mane
etc.

and stick together each piece. Next you can start to paint. Add on patterns
using gold paint or felt tip pens.

are some examples to get you started.
