Friday 24th January

Here we go again ! Virtually There started, with a new class and a different focus. In our planning Andrew and I decided that we would look at time and it’s effects on materials. ‘Change and Duration’

We started with Andrew introducing himself to the children and explaining where he was from . We then started immediately into work  the children drew self portraits, they had mirrors and also some had brought in photos of themselves to work from.

Once these were under way the children were keen to share their work with Andrew and a queue soon formed at the computer.

The children added details and some developed their drawings further by putting in backgrounds.

Next Andrew  talked to the children about making their portraits using the technique of collaging using different fabrics and materials. The children drew their figures again and then began the process of collaging.

It was interesting to see how many skills were being developed in creating their work ,from selecting materials, measuring pieces to fit and even cutting fabric which proved challenging for some pupils.

The children were totally absorbed in the task and the resulting portrait collages are really lively and interesting.
