This week in Art Academy online, we took a virtual tour of the Pitt Rivers Museum Oxford @pittriversmuseum , an archaeology and anthropology museum on the Oxford University campus. It was so much fun to explore the collection together! To add to the excitement and learning, we went on a visual scavenger hunt. We looked for something with a pattern, a symbol, a tool, something made of leather, something made of wood, and a form or shape that we liked. We also named our favorite object and discussed what we’d do with it if we could bring it home. Together, we imagined how the museum would feel and smell if we were really there. This would be a great way “to travel” together at home. Search virtual tours and find a good fit for you. For more activities and prompts, visit our Creative Classroom.

This one has something for everyone! For many, the fun will be hunting sticks that can stand and trimming them up just right. It’s not easy to get just the right balance! For others, the best part will be painting the sticks and wrapping them up in yarn. For the younger set, the juiciest part may come after in the form of imaginative play. Use your stick sculptures to adorn a deck or garden. Set them on a bookshelf. Make one for every family member. Name them. Write a story about them. Just have fun!
 

SPLIT-PIN PUPPET

TOOLS: scissors, pencil, split-pins

ASSEMBLY:
Download and print the image onto a full A4 sheet of paper.
Color-in and/or decorate your puppet pieces.
Once finished, cut out pieces and make holes for the split pins (paper fasteners) to go through with a pencil. The black dots on the puppet pieces illustrate where the pins should go.
Construct your puppet using split pins to join the pieces together. A finished image of the puppet is included in the upper right corner as a guide for assembly.
Now your puppet is complete and ready to play with!

The template can also be used for fabric dolls:

STUFFED FABRIC DOLL
To create, trace each puppet piece onto fabric and cut out 2 fabric pieces for each part. (Alternatively, trace design onto tracing paper, cut out parts, and pin to fabric. Cut out 2 of each piece using tracing paper as a guide.)
For facial features, cut out separate pieces for each feature; add before stuffing body.
Sew each pairing part together on three sides, leaving an opening to add stuffing.
Once your puppet is stuffed, finish sewing parts shut, and then stitch each piece onto the body

Notice the way the sunlight animates your home. Which spots are touched by the morning sun? The setting sun? On sunny days, light and shadow are deeply contrasted and sharp. On overcast days, the light is gentle and diffused. How do these differences change the way you see the objects being illuminated? Perhaps take photos of the same place in your home for several days in a row. Or maybe attempt to capture the fall of light and shadow in a drawing. Take a video of the movement of light and shadow on a breezy day. Place your body or your hand in line with the sun so you become a part of the composition. Making is secondary to seeing so you can always just observe. For more art prompts and tutorials, check out our Creative Classroom.

The little ones love this process based way to create a colorful background for their artwork! Four ingredients and you’re on your way: watercolor paper, tissue paper, scissors, and a spray bottle. When the background is complete, a marker or crayon drawing can be added on top. Consider keeping the now- multicolored tissue pieces and using them to add three dimensional detail to the work. Simply put down some double sided tape, wade the tissue up and stick it on! Et voila! ? For more creative ideas, visit our Creative Classroom.
