Clip Art

Making clip art is a fun and challenging hobby for me. Unfortunately my clips are being added to other sites (without links back to here) and so I will no longer post 'pure' clip art on this blog. I will continue to make clip art for my own class (and colleagues) but will only be posting resources that include my clip art on this blog. These will continue to be freely available for download. Thanks for supporting this blog.

Environmental Backgrounds

I have been working with a group of children interested in how we can give back to our school and community through the environment.

I wanted to make a poster to share the roster we have for our compost activities which gave me the opportunity to create a border and background.  When making the tree I learnt more about gradients and fills - exciting!
These three posters are in a single .pdf document - click here for the link.

Bucket Filler Clipart

This term we are looking at becoming bucket fillers.  I first saw the idea in a book by Carol McCloud but having delved more into the topic I found that Dr. Donald O. Clifton wrote a book in the 1960's titled "Dipper and Bucket".  You can find more information at this website - Bucket Fillers.
The following clipart depicts the bucket.  The original piece was created at A3 as a .png (but check your page set up before printing and change to A3 as it often defaults back to A4).  The .pdf poster prints on 4 A3 pages (again check the page set up before printing).  Click on the image to open link to the download page.

 

Below is the poster with a black background.

Children Clipart

These children will be used as part of a Bucket Filling display I am setting up next term.  The .png files will size to A3.  I have also made them into a .pdf poster file (4 pages).  If you set the page set up to A3 the total 4 pages will size to A1 (594x841 cm).  Click on the images to open the download site.

 

 

Cow Clipart

We have been learning about farming in New Zealand.  I created this cow to include in a classroom display.  It has been created as a .png at A3 size.  Click here or on the image for a link to the A3 download page.  Click here or on the poster image for the download.  The poster page set up defaults to A4 so I change the page set up to A3 in the print pop-up menu for a poster on four A3 sheets.

Find some great resources at these New Zealand sites.
