Today we were doing more work on ipads, this time we were building on our last session where we experimented with the tools and we did some work with layers.

We had to figure out a way to get photos of students’ symbols from my desktop to ipads, our solution was for me to upload to whiteboard snap the whiteboard

A fuzzy wuzzy wibbly wobbly screen shot of Curtis iPad with his staff of the blue flame symbol:

After the break Students were working together on strategies for joining up individual elements for a collaborative collage while I continued playing with layers and carrying through images on the whiteboard:

I can’t wait to see what the year 10 layered collage looks like, some materials the students have thought about are string, drawing pins, crushed paper, and different coloured paper.

I have asked the students also to find solutions for carrying motifs through from one section to another, linking colours and dissolving boundaries, thinking about repetition, rhythm, form, colour and pictorial space, and ways of layering using different media…all will unfold in the classroom.
