This was a really fun, fast and furious one day art project I did last week with my mixed Grade 4-6 art class. I saw the project HERE on a fellow Canadian teacher's website: https://www.mmemarissa.com/art-projects. She is a French Immersion elementary teacher from British Columbia who posts many art lessons.
She posts all the steps to the mummy eyes project and also includes a free eyes template.
I ordered these new neon oil pastels (from Amazon) for the project. Usually the Mont Marte brand can be very hit it miss, in my experience, but we all really loved these- super smooth and easy to blend. You can also find this brand often at Winners/Homesense where it is cheaper than Amazon (I found out afterward, lol)
I printed out the eye template but gave students the choice to draw their own eyes,
Only one student did this.
Students learned about analogous colours and chose 2-3 colours to colour their eyes with.
Cut them out and glue to the middle of a horizontal sheet of black construction paper.
Each student took 1 or 2 8.5 x 14" whit copy paper (legal size).
They carefully tore them into strips horizontally (long ways).
Then they chose light grey or a beige chalk pastel and drew some lines on the paper strips and blended them out with their finger. This made them looks like old strips of cloth.
Then they started layer the paper strips over the eyes.
My students really enjoyed this project! It was a rush job, but they all
managed to complete them in one period (80 minutes).
