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.

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!

Let’s make an African animal mask today.

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.

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

Here are some examples to get you started.
