Iridescent Insects
By Alison Dunne.
In this resource, spanning six one-hour sessions, teacher Alison Dunne talks through a drawing and embossing project, inspired by insects and the Mexican tin folk art known as ‘Hojalata.’ Pupils explore observational drawing, colour mixing, texture and embossing with a focus on early scientific artists and explorers such as Maria Sibylla Merian, and contemporary artists such as Rosalind Monks. This project took place with a Key Stage 2 class, but it could easily be adapted to other ages.
