A Map of the World -Together we make something new



I work as a roaming Art Teacher for grades 1-3 in Ben Tzvi in Givat haMoreh-outside Afula once a week.
I have 2 classes of each grade and 143 pupils all in all! And teach them ALL in 1 day!
And all in Hebrew!
It’s definitely quite a challenge, but ever so rewarding!!And I love it!!!!

This was a project I did together with my grade 3’s.We had a quotation to express as an artwork. (In Hebrew obviously)-Loosely translating to small things together making something new .With my love for collage I wanted to create a large picture that everyone could do a small part of it .I thought immediately of Van Gogh’s corn fields, but after talking to my instructor (Michal) we thought it would be great to do something that would also go hand in hand with the motto of this year “I’m different”.
After some thinking I decided to do a map of the world.(it also has room for stars & a funky frame)
I have wonderful pieces of cardboard cut into squares, put them all together & drew the map. I colour coded it & all it was ready for the kids.

I got the kids to work in pairs and gave them glue, magazines and coloured paper .They really got the concept of collaging this time & it was great fun!
My outlines of the world
Bits & bobs of colour paper that I have been collecting for years

Oooooh such fun!Magazine cuttings
Look at how beautifully they worked together!
What a wonderful collage of our world!I love it!

Art with a splash of English – Outer Space

So we have learnt about "Under the sea" and "Down in the Jungle"! Now it’s the sky and out there!
And being a textile designer & painting with textile ink all day I thought the kids would enjoy painting on pillow cases!
We looked at pictures of planets, stars and outer space. We learnt words like space & spaceship…
I gave each kid a permanent marker let them start creating! We learnt that mistakes could became masterpieces and not to be afraid to try something new!
The result was totally outstanding! I then heat set the pillows, wash them & once dry they each have a beautiful fun & colourful Outer-Space-Pillow-Case!Sweet dreams!!!
Once the outlines have been drawn they can start to paint

Wonderful drawings and great sense of colour!

Carefully and slowly they adorn their pillows with colour

These are my wonderful textile inks that I mix myself

My youngest in the group creates an amazing outer space

Beautiful finished artwork!
