Art: Monday 18th May

Abstract Cardboard Faces

Today (Monday 18^th May) is International Museum Day. Museums are located all over the world. They display artefacts and artwork of historical importance.

This afternoon we are going to create a piece of artwork based on a very famous abstract artist, Pablo Picasso. Picasso was most famous for his ‘cubism’ artwork where he would create a picture of an object but make it look like it was cut up and viewed from different angles.

Here you can read some information about Pablo Picasso:

Task

Today your task is to try and create a piece of cubism art like Picasso. You could create your artwork based on a self-portrait, a family member or a famous person. For this task you will need scissors, glue and cardboard (I have loads of cardboard in my house from my numerous online deliveries but you could also use paper if no cardboard – it just won’t have the 3D effect but will look great!), and paint/pens for finishing.

The link below is a useful watch to help guide you but you can create your own picture in any way you like. The fun thing about abstract is that it’s not meant to look perfect so the crazier the better!!!

Can’t wait to see the finished results!!

Task 2:

Make up your own code with symbols that represent digits from 0-9. You could make up your own symbols or use simple little pictures. Make up sums using your code and challenge someone to solve your calculations! You could do addition, subtraction, multiplication or division sums, or try a mixture!

Thursday 14th May: Angles – Lesson 2

We know that a right angle measures 90 degrees and a straight angle measures 180 degrees.

Usually we would use a protractor to measure angles but if we know the angle is a right or straight angle then we can use a calculation to work out the angle size. Sometimes these angles can be split to create smaller angles. Here are straight angles split into smaller angles:

Task:

There are 2 chilli challenges for you to complete – Mild and Hot. Have a go at calculating the angles without using a protractor. Remember the information above to help you with your calculations.

Good Luck!

Wednesday 13th May: Angles – Lesson 1

An angle is a measure of how one line is rotated onto another line (where the 2 lines join). Angles are measured in degrees. There are various names to describe angles, based on their sizes:

The curved/circular line in the angle examples show the size of the angle. Sometimes a right angle is represented with a square rather than a curve.

Can you identify what the following examples are using the correct names:

acute, right, obtuse, straight or reflex

Family Quiz Night (Mon-Fri Tasks)

As you know, your task this week is to create a family quiz night. Each day you will be given something to organise for your quiz night.

As the slide for Monday was quite difficult to read, I will send all the slides for the week. You will still get a daily reminder at 1pm for each task set that day. Click on the link below:

This will ensure that you can see all the tasks clearly.
