The brain<br />
Duration<br />
Three lessons<br />

Use a variety of shapes to create a ‘mechanical brain’ inside a profile outline.<br />
Materials<br />
✓✓ large sheet of lithograph paper<br />
✓✓ overhead projector<br />
✓✓ coloured markers<br />
✓✓ lead pencils<br />
✓✓ erasers<br />
Lesson 1<br />
1. Use an overhead<br />
projector to trace each<br />

coloured pencils<br />
scraps of coloured paper<br />
variety of round shapes for<br />
tracing (e.g. bottle tops, lids)<br />
Lesson 2<br />
Using a ruler and<br />
round shapes, create<br />
a mechanical system<br />
inside the head, drawing<br />
cogs, wheels, pulleys<br />
etc. (Some images<br />
from the internet may<br />
provide inspiration.)<br />
• Understands<br />
that artworks are<br />

Lesson 3<br />
1. Students use a variety<br />
of media, including<br />
pencils and coloured<br />
markers, to colour the<br />
mechanical system.<br />
Coloured paper can be<br />
cut and glued to create<br />
cogs etc.<br />
2. Cut around head profile<br />
and glue onto coloured<br />
card.<br />
• Understands that<br />
skills learnt in visual<br />
arts can assist us<br />
in other parts of<br />
our school lives; for<br />
