Week 4 Drawing ourselves and then sewing.

On Friday we spent part of the session drawing a self-portrait of ourselves onto a large piece of paper. Mr Livingstone encouraged us to make our drawings large and clear. He told us to include important details. Mrs Patton talked to us about the position of eyes, noses and ears. “What she said made sense and really helped us!” said one pupil. We then had to draw onto the T-shirts we had brought in. If you had a dark coloured T-shirt it was helpful to use a light pastel and if you had a light coloured T-shirt a dark pastel worked better. This was quite tricky to do. Mr Livingstone showed us a drawing he had done and what the next activity was. We were going to sew! It was good to watch Mr Livingstone as he sewed over the top of his drawing. Miss Courtenay, Miss Rainey and Miss Harte helped us to thread the needles and rescue a few scrunched up T-shirts. (Some people pulled their threads too tightly!) Our time passed by so quickly. When Miss Courtenay said that we were going to have to stop we were amazed. We will continue to work on our T-shirts next week. We had great fun and some of us even learnt to sew!
