In the first file you find 20 details of a bicycle, in pdf file, ready to be colored in an individually activity, with texture, zentangle or solid colors. In the second file you find 28 numered worksheets that can be assembled to form a big bicycle (138x79cm). This is a teamwork suitable for all grades of school, which puts into play the decorative imagination of every child, and culminating in the creation of a larger picture, where everyone gave their fanciful contribution.
The lesson described below is dedicated to textures: each student has colored a detail in a free and imaginative way, coloring each area with colored felt pens, and inventing the most varied texture to fill the drawing. With the numered frames the drawings can be assembled to get the shape of the bicycle.
Here below you can buy the worksheets: in the first file you find 20 worksheets with details of a bicycle, in pdf file, ready to be colored, with texture, zentangle or solid colors. In the second pdf file, you find 28 parts of a bicycle ready to be decorated and assembled together to create a big bicycle for a group activity.
So cool, thank you!
Thanks for your comment Bille! 🙂
Thank you for this! I just downloaded the bicycle pages. They will be good to have on hand as a good, collaborative project for a sub to use with my students should I need to be away for a day! I appreciate your wonderful website (which I look at frequently) and am happy that you share your great ideas. I do not have a blog, but if you are interested in viewing the art I do with my students, just google: dlanzsage and you will be directed to my flickr picture sharing site!
Hi Darcy! I had a look to your flickr picture, and there are amazing works! Thanks for sharing!! Good job with the bicycle!! 🙂
This is such a fun activity! Should there be 20 different images? I purchased the file but we seem to have doubles of the same image (e.g., two seats).
Hi Jolene! Yes, some images are quite similar, I couldn’t subdivide the bicycle in 20 completely different parts, because the full image is not so complex and I would give to every kid something suitable for decoration and avoid blank sheets. May I help you in something?
Oh, okay. So we need to overlap some pieces almost completely? We’re having a hard time piecing it all together! 🙂
yes, is not just a picture subdivided in squares, so you have to overlap the drawings or do two bicycles… 🙁
These are fabulous. I am doing a blog post now and will link back to you! Love your website. Kim @ http://2soulsisters.blogspot.com THANK YOU so much for sharing =)
Hi Kim! Your blog is amazing! thank for sharing!:)
I am so glad that someone else had a difficult time putting it together. I worked on it for an hour and a half and had to overlap and was wondering what I was doing wrong. Now it makes sense. I do a grid project with my 7th grade students so we enlarge each section and then put it together. I was trying to keep track of the order in putting it together wouldn’t be difficult. I will keep working on it!!
Thanks for your comment. as I wrote some images are quite similar, but I couldn’t subdivide the bicycle in 20 different parts, because the full image is not so complex and I would give to every kid something suitable for decoration (and avoid blank sheets)…
Hi Marian – I bought this a while ago so maybe the file has been updated. The central portion of the back wheel did not appear on any of the enlargement sheets so had to be drawn on by hand otherwise there was a hole.
