Stippled Mixed Media Beetle

This is an exciting, creative project where students will create a stippled mixed media beetle. During this task, they will learn:

• To create a mixed media artwork of a beetle.
• To explore the benefits of creating an interesting surface for an artwork.
• To experiment with stippling to create an observational drawing that includes detail and a range of tones.

Included in this download:

• A 15-slide PowerPoint that supports your students step-by-step. See above.
• A lesson plan to help structure the lesson and also give good advice!
• 7 beetle images for your students to choose from, a few of which are Ai generated. See below.
• Some collage papers as an alternative to using book paper.

Materials required: cardboard, old fiction books, scissors, glue, fine liners.

There are many more mixed media lessons and insect inspired lessons on The Arty Teacher website.
