Day one of our Virtually there Art Project 2012 went remarkably well. The School’s internet had been down for 3 days previous. I’m still not sure quite how we managed to link up through illuminate as every other computer in the school didn’t have internet access that day!

Our theme is Changes and Sharon began with a simple activity letting the children make changes on paper using various media. They enjoyed the free exploratory nature of the activity.

We then looked at our own faces…Sharon showed us a self portrait that she had drawn and asked the children to draw eaxctly what they saw in the mirror. They then cut out the features and stuck them on a piece of paper. They struggled with this as they wanted picture perfect portraits!

The session was enjoyable, however technical difficulties slowed the whole process down.
Already looking forward to next weeks session where we will be looking at how the children’s features have changed over the years.
