1. Distorted Clock
Use the two famous paintings by Salvador Dali (“Stillness of Time”
& ) as a base for an abstract art /painting lesson. The students can
then use their own clocks to create a distorted image.
2. Collage Clock
Using a theme, cut pictures from magazines to make a clock face, add movable
hands & then paint the background of the clock one colour and the
background of the page a contrasting or complementary colour.
3. Time Through Colour
Complete a Sally Morgan style painting showing TIME through colour. Dividing
the page into four sections and then using each segment to depict a section
of the day. Sunrise, daytime, sunset & night. Then surround or border
the artwork with a place in time.
4. CD Clock
Make either a working or non working
clock using an old CD. Paint your desired design onto the CD with metallic
paint and attached movable arms. If you wish to get really tricky you
can attach a battery and make the clock actually work.
5. Myself in Time
Draw a picture of a watch attached
to an arm, then draw yourself in it 20years from now. Looking at passing
time and how we watch ourselves change.
6. Changes in Time
Students can draw a visual timeline of themselves or something related
to the topic they are doing, showing change over time.
8. Spare Time
What do you do in your spare time?
This is very broad and you can interpret this as you wish.
9. Jigsaw Clock
Draw a clock, segment it by drawing lines to give the impression of jigsaw
pieces. Use only 2 colours, complementary or contrasting or a colour segment
e.g. warm colours. Then paint a larger piece of paper paint a different
colour, cut your clock into its segments and glue them onto the background
sheet either slightly separated or jumbled.
