Robots





Year 2 Robots
Each student was given sheets of different shapes for the head, body, arms and legs of robots.  They practiced these and sketched their own robot.  We enlarged these onto A3 paper and outlined in black.  The next lesson consisted of mixing black and white paint to make a grey metal colour.  The children painted most areas of the robot grey except the eyes, mouth and any buttons.  Yellow, red and orange paint were used for these.  
The final lessons looked at where the light source would be coming from and they used dark blue paint for the shadow on one side of the robot.  Once they were cut out and mounted onto colour paper, the children added charcoal along the edge of the shadow and  blended it in.
