This is a really cool lesson using transparency sheets, sharpies and paint pens layered over a tissue paper collage background.
I saw the lesson on the fabulous Talley Street Artists Instagram account.
I taught this project to a mixed class of Grade 4-6. They were all successful with it.
First class: create a tissue paper collage using watered down glue and tissue paper onto cardstock (it should match the size of the transparency film). Let dry. These curled up ALOT during the drying process and was a huge pain both flattening them and trimming them!! Allocate time for that.
I had pre printed out a few sheets of a variety of insect clip art. Students chose one and traced a variety of sizes on insects onto the transparencies using sharpie. They were so excited to be able to trace, lol.
Then they chose three paint pens and added lines and patterns, dots and outlines.
Then we taped them onto their tissue paper background using double sided clear tape.
They look so cool!! This project's a keeper :) It took two 80 minute classes in total.
