Optimistic art

Discuss the BtN story with students focussing the discussion on how art can make a person feel. Brainstorm a list of emotions and ask students to give examples of artworks that communicate a particular emotion/s.

Students’ artwork could be displayed within a public space in their school (front foyer, library/resource centre) or a local community art gallery. Other classes can be encouraged to create artworks with the same theme and an art exhibition could be held.

Students can choose a variety of media and materials to create their art work. These could include:

• Drawing (charcoal, felt pens, oil pastels, watercolour pencils, crayon resist)

• Painting (acrylic, oil, watercolours)

• Photography (conventional, digital, disposable, hand colouring black and white photos)

• Electronic (electronically generating images using software such as Photoshop or Kidpix or creating art online at the National Gallery of Art )

• Mixed media (collage, photomontage)

Discuss with students ways they could mount their artwork for display.
