REVISION WEEK 1-3

TEACHERS: Mr D Veldschoën and Me N Mostert

Dear Learners

We do hope and pray that you all are well. There are a lot of

challenges, but we appreciate the way you are already taking part and

doing your schoolwork. Now for Creative Arts.

We have put in your first term lesson to start with as revision. Now you

have time to properly read through the work and even understand a bit

better. Focus on the Elements of Art that we have done. You will

remember the worksheets we have done already.

To sharpen this in your minds, even for the next years of art, we want you

to do all the activities marked with a . You may use any resources

available; from the paper, to the paint, colouring pencils, grey pencils,

chalk, whatsoever. Be creative and just enjoy it. (You may also print out

the worksheets if you have the facility available.)

You have three weeks to complete this. That means, your new work will

be on the Website by Tuesday, 19th of May.

Try your best and stay safe.

We miss you!

ART ELEMENTS:

1. Line: A line is a mark which connects two points on a 2-dimentional

surface. A line does not exist in three dimensions.

A line is a dot on a walk. It starts at one point and has an end point. It is

everywhere around us and we get many different types of lines.

2. Shape: A shape is the outline of an object to show its basic appearance as well as

spaces closed by outlines, for example a circle or a square. We get geometric, natural

and organic shapes.

a. Most geometric shapes are made by humans.

b. Natural shapes are associated with things from

the natural world, like plants and animals.

c. Organic shapes have no definite shape and are

round-edged.

3. Texture: The look and feel of an object to show whether the object is

smooth or rough. It can be created by many kinds of media, e.g. sanding

paper, scratching on a surface, sand or seeds glued onto a sheet of paper,

etc.

Activity 2 Texture

Draw any scrabble pattern (see

example) . Fill up the spaces with any

different textures you can find. Enjoy!!!
