Towards the end of the last session we had started to work with the rubbings a little bit.  The class photocopied theirs and started to cut them up to make new images. We looked at aerial photography to get some inspiration.  They sent me on some photos of the work during the week and I was blown away.

I was also really impressed that they had worked on them in their own time.

During the week I also had started to play a little with some of the textures I had photographed.

I was getting interested in the idea of making drawings or image of the things we can’t see.  There are some drawing experiments I’ve done before where you place an object in a bag and try to draw it by touch.

I had asked Ms Murray to bring in some objects and black bags for the session and we set about on our little experiment.

There was great fun at the end when we opened the bags to reveal the objects.  My drawing (above) was of a bowl.  We took photos of all the work using the webcam and I asked them how hard they found it on a scale of 1-10.

Unfortunately I’ve accidentally saved over that white board but I will get Ms Murray to send on the images, or post them in the teachers blog.
