P2, P5, MISS WHITE, MISS ORR AND ANN

WE ARE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER ON

STILL

AND

NOT STILL

Just wondering P2, if YOU think there is any difference between seeing and looking?

It would be great P2,if you would let me know YOUR OWN thoughts on this.

I’m sure many of you will have different ideas and then different ways of putting those ideas into words and that’s perfect.We would really like to have your own thoughts whatever they are.

Ask an adult to help type your thoughts into the comments box below and DON’T be tempted to read anyone else’s comments before you type up your own thoughts.

Over a two week span of the project, P2 were asked to search outside, using their naked-eye in conjunction with their looking tubes, for objects or places which had both an outside and an inside. From these they had to select just one and, using water-soluble graphite and paint, create a pair of images.

“P2, I just can’t help but put up all of your Outside/Inside paintings for everyone to see. They are simply fantastic!”

I’ve typed your names below your paintings.

The image on the left is the first you made of Outside and the one on the right done after of Inside.

P2 were send outside in search of texture using their looking tubes.

After searching they were asked to select only two texture from all those they has found – two which were very different in some way. They had to describe these textures visually, using drawing pencils on paper and also verbally, answering the “what, where, when questions”

Miss White sent me all your drawing in the post this week P2 and in I just have share them all on your journal as I think they’re brilliant P2. ( Ann)

I’ve typed in your names just below each drawing in case you can’t see your hand written names.

We did more experimenting mixing paints.

Ann asked us to choose one colour and mix it with each of the other colours in our box to see what colours we would make.

Then we had to see if we could mix up any different colours ourselves starting with the same colour again.

 

We also used the colour picker again to choose more colours from our photographs for our natural colours paintbox.We just have three more to do. Click on our paintbox to zoom in.

Ann asked us what the word experimenting means.

Toby said experimenting meant “test”.

Ollie said “discover”.

We had to experiment with paint and water to see what happened if you keep adding water into your brush.

Ann asked us “Do you always know what the answer is going to be when you experiment?”

 

Most of us though no you didn’t that the answer  might be a mystery or a surprise.
