Backyard Bush Blitz - Drawing Insects
Lesson8 of 8 in this unit
Cool+PrimaryYear 5 - 6EnglishScienceThe ArtsEnvironmentalBiodiversityCitizen Science
Lesson Summary
Students will create artworks based on the Bush Blitz species and the habitats in which the species live. They begin by creating a 3D model of one species before applying their learnings from this activity to create a 2D scientific drawing. This drawing can then be incorporated into a display in the classroom or school as a mural.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- recognise microhabitats in the schoolyard and identify the animals that live in them
- understand that you can use both 2D and 3D techniques to visually communicate scientific findings
- observe visual detail of bush blitz critters as they apply technique and process to their drawing/painting/modelling
- explore and experiment with visual conventions (line, shape, colour and texture) to apply observation of their animal species.
Success criteria
Students can:
- work independently and collaboratively
- use visual art and scientific terminology
- draw a scientific drawing
- describe why a horizon line helps our landscape picture have depth
- blend a landscape background.
