Enhancing my pupils project

There's a new month tomorrow and a new job for me. 

So I'm choosing to highlight a project I did with my pupils at my former job as an Arts and Crafts teacher. This is from an assignement where 6th graders make a figure in modeling clay inspired from superheroes. They start with making an armature with steel wires, mount it to a tree brick base, sculpt the rough shape out of used/mixed modeling clay then the pupils decorate it with thin plates from the unmixed modeling clay. 

That way we still get use out of old/mixed modeling clay and by then reduce our climate footprint.

Afterwards could the willing pupils have me take a picture of their figure and then photoshop it into a "Superhero Poster"! And here are the finished results:

PS: The groups of pupils where called "Surf" and "Turf".

For the observant observerer, 

the background images is from different areas in Oslo.

 

The color and the shape.

Coloring project!

 When I started this drawing I wasn't sure if I should make self shadows only, 

or include the strike shadows also. I decided for both but did not realize how

much work it would be. Can't wait for the coloring process though.

Final result

Inking!

Black markers on paper is my good ol' go-to media 

when I don't have any specific ideas of what to make.

No sketching with pencils beforehand, just raw ink.

Making a new magazine.... Front first.

 Just straight up sketched the front page of a new magazine.

Maybe this is the way to go? Just pencil and markers.

Graffiti course!

 This summer I held a graffiti course for some of my mom's friends.

We tried different brands, caps and types of paint. 

Good vibes!

Bought the cans at KEM Oslo and I finally got to try the water based paint.

We painted on huntonite boards so they needed to get primed beforehand.

Here it is all set and the course could run its, well... course.
