Activity Dragonflies A 3D exploration of a theme using a variety of media suitable for lower and upper levels. Stocking Dragonfly Materials Stocking Pieces Paper Magiclay Soft Cut Sakura Small U lino tool Craft Aluminium Wire Sequins in a Jar Stars Liquid Glitter Shimmer Paint Arbee Craft Glue Pongee Silk Polyester Filling Metallic Yarn Hot Melt Glue Gun 1. Knot one end of a Stocking Piece and fill the length with Polyester Filling. Shape the piece to create a narrow end. Knot the end to secure the filling and use this end knot as the feelers of the dragonfly. 2. Wind Metallic Yarn around the filled stocking to create the head, body and tail segments. 3. Paint lines of colour around the stocking body and set aside to dry. 4. Draw the lines of a dragonfly’s wings on a block of Soft Cut. Carve the lines with a lino tool and ink up the block with Shimmer Paint. 5. Print the design repeatedly to completely cover a piece of Pongee Silk approximately A4 size. Set aside to dry. 6. Model two bulbous eyes using Paper Magiclay and when dry paint with Shimmer Paint. 7. Bend two lengths of Craft Aluminium Wire to form two pairs of wings and glue these on to two pieces of printed fabric. Trim off the excess fabric around the wire. 8. Cut lengths of Craft Aluminium Wire and bind with wire to create six legs. Glue these to the insect body. 9. Glue the wings on to the top of the insect body and glue the eyes on to the head. 10. Glue Sequin Stars on to the eyes and top of the wings. 11. Apply lines of Liquid Glitter to the top of the body and tail. D DREAMER steps Discussion Ask the students to tell you all they know about Dragonflies. Have images of different dragonflies and discuss the elements of art such as line, shape, colour and texture that they can find on a dragonfly. Diffusing Paper Dragonfly Materials Paper Magiclay Diffusing Paper Food Dye Creative Bead Box Dressmakers Pins Shimmer Paint Liquid Glitter Metallic Wire Cord 1. Cover a sheet of Diffusing Paper with patterns of washable markers and different colours of Food Dye and set aside to dry. 2. Model a body of a dragonfly using Paper Magiclay, a head, thorax and tail. 3. Paint the body with Shimmer Paint and set aside to dry. 4. Concertina fold the Diffusing Paper and whilst still folded cut the outer edges to shape the wings. 5. Pin these wings on to the body with pins threaded with beads. 6. Thread beads on to two pins and stick them into the head for eyes. Repeat this with other beads for the feelers. 7. Use Metallic Wire Cord for the legs and pin these to the undercarriage of the insect. E DREAMER steps Experiment Try different inks, watercolours and markers to create a variety of effects on the Diffusing Paper before folding the dried paper for the wings. 12 www.zartart.com.au
Paper Magiclay Dragonfly Materials Poly Body Paper Magiclay Shimmer Paint Metallic Jersey Rainbow Glitter Cellophane Armature Wire 1.6 mm Arbee Craft Glue Newspaper Masking Tape 1. Manipulate pieces of Paper Magiclay to completely cover a Poly Body to form the dragonfly. Extend the tail out from the Poly Body. Add two Cane, Paper & Silk Dragon eyes and six legs to the creature. 2. Stretch and squeeze small pieces of Paper Magiclay and push these on to the body to create a textured surface over the entire insect. 3. Use lengths of Armature Wire to create four wing shapes, cover one side of each wing with glue and press each one down on to a sheet of Cellophane. When dry, trim around each wing to cut away the excess paper. 4. Turn each wing over and glue the other side of the wire. Press each one down on to pieces of Metallic Jersey. When dry, trim around each wing to cut away the excess material. 5. Glue the wings on to the top of the dragonfly body and cover the join with Paper Magiclay. 6. Paint the dragonfly and whilst the paint is still wet sprinkle Glitter over the creature. 7. Dribble lines of paint over the wings and sprinkle Glitter over the wet paint. E DREAMER steps Experiment Try using different forms for the body of the dragonfly, e.g. Scrunched up newspaper and taped into shape might be an alternative form to work the Paper Magiclay over. Materials PVA mixture (50/50 PVA and water) Masking Tape Tissue Paper White Gauze Paper Pongee Silk (hand painted & set using Procion Dyes, Sun Dyes or Dual Fabric Paints) 1. Pre soak 2.5 mm Cane in hot water for approx. 5 minutes and hang out to dry. 2. Create a Cane dragonfly armature using Masking Tape to secure all sections of the body and wings. 3. Paint each section of the Cane with the PVA mixture and cover it with a sheet of white Tissue Paper slightly larger than the armature. 4. Cover the entire dragonfly armature with a layer of white Tissue Paper. 5. Add a second layer of Gauze Paper to all or sections of the sculpture using the PVA mixture to adhere the paper to the shape. 6. Add a layer of decorated Pongee Silk to the desired sections of the sculpture using the PVA mixture to secure it. 7. Brush on the PVA mixture over the entire shape, (quite liberally as this mixture hardens as it dries and gives the sculpture its form). Set aside to dry overnight. 8. Use full strength PVA or a Hot Melt Glue Gun to add Sequins, beads, Creative Metallic Braid, and a variety of threads to add hi-lights to the dragonfly sculpture.
