Automatic Art

We are so lucky to have our student teacher, Miss B with us!  She is very creative and shared her love of art with us with two fun and interesting art activities.  The first automatic art activity was a group art job.  She told us that some artists draw just from their brain.  They close their eyes and let their brain and hands do the work. She played a variety of different pieces of music and we had to close our eyes and draw just by listening to the music.  At first, many of us wanted to draw pictures, but then we listened a little harder and we drew lots of different lines and shapes.  After we listened to a few pieces and drew all over a huge mural paper, we changed spots.  We had to look at our friends art and see if we could find different shapes and pictures within their art. It was amazing to see all the creative minds at work!

The second automatic art activity was called Blot Painting.  Each student got to drip paint onto a white sheet of card stock.  Then they folded the paper in half and pressed the paint down. When the paper was opened, the shapes and colours were super interesting. Miss B helped us make our own art book of what we think our Blot paintings look like.
