Design and Draw Chocolate Bar

Design and draw Charlie's next birthday chocolate bar from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 

This activity can be done as a follow on from the awesome adjectives or it can stand alone. 

Read extract from chapter one of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where Charlie can only think of one thing, chocolate and he only gets a chocolate bar once a year on his birthday. Imagine you are Charlie and you are getting a chocolate bar for your birthday.

What do you think about the chocolate bar you get on your birthday? It's special, yummy, mouth watering, delicious, scrumptious....

How would you describe the chocolate?

Think about size, shape, colour of wrapper, taste, smell.... 

Size - gigantic, huge

Shape - rectangular, a slab

Colour - golden, multicoloured

Taste - delicious, scrumptious, yummy

Smell - heavenly, chocolatey

Now design and draw a chocolate bar wrapper/chocolate you will get for your next birthday, (remember you are Charlie.) 

Think about size of wrapper, shape, name of chocolate bar, lettering - capitals, bubble writing, shapes, colours on wrapper, any special messages eg surprise inside, 5 stars, pull tab to open the wrapper. 

When finished you can cut in two different ways. 

1. Leave a white border around the wrapper and cutout. Pick out two colours in the wrapper and mount onto those colours in card or coloured paper. Eg We mounted a dragon's we drew in this way. 

2. You can also draw the actual chocolate on another piece of paper. Think about type of chocolate - milk, dark, white, fillings eg fruity filling, creamy filling, has it got bits in it eg biscuits, toffee, sprinkles etc

Cut out the wrapper and if the bar inside is a different size/shape to your wrapper, put the wrapper over the top and draw round the outline. Cut out the chocolate bar and place them together. Use cellotape to tape one side of both together so it opens like a book. Then you have the wrapper and open it open to reveal the chocolate underneath.

We did this in a zoom call with school friends so I'm looking forward to seeing the completed wrappers and chocolate bars.

We are going to do a piece of descriptive writing to go with this drawing.

Make Art In A Box

Image
If like us you have lots of boxes lying around then why not use them for making some painted paper you can use as gift wrap or making into cards. What you need.  A box Paper Milk bottle tops, corks, marbles or baby food pouch tops.  Paint Cellotape What to do.  1) Line the box with white paper.  2) Squeeze different coloured paint in patches all over the box.  3) Add in bottle tops or small objects that will roll about and you don't mind getting covered in paint.  4) Close the lid on the box and Cellotape up.  5) This is the fun part. Shake the box from side to side so the loose parts spread the blobs of paint about.  6) Open up to have a look at the results. You can always add more blobs of paint and repeat the shaking of the box.  7) When you are happy with the results, leave to dry.  8) Use the painted paper to wrap a present for a family member or cut the paper up into squar...

Mosaic Picture

Image
Make a mosaic picture. You could use coloured paper for the mosaic pieces. Either tear up or practice cutting skills and cut coloured paper up. Use a piece of coloured card for the background. Black looks good. Decide what the picture will be in the middle. Pick two colours for the border and alternate the pieces. Place on card first then glue down. Create the picture in the centre. Could be a flower, animal, sport related, initials, a rainbow, football etc Glue central picture down when happy with picture. Then choose one or two similar colours  to fill in the background. Glue pieces down. We used painted lasagne pasta (which was out of date) which we've had in the craft cupboard for over a year! Paint the lasagne pasta sheets different colours, leave to dry, break up into pieces once dry and place in zip lock plastic bags or tubs.
