Getting warmer
November 16, 2012Autumn Sun
November 15, 2012Today we warmed ourselves in the autumn sun – hunting for colourful leaves to use in our artwork.
Once back inside working one by one the leaves were put to good use, as textures on the firey surface of the sun (a round orange rug!).
Keep checking back to see more soon.
Ice, Snow and Symmetry
November 15, 2012Making a giant Kaleidoscope helped us understand the beautiful symmetry of snowflakes, and have a lot of fun too! No one escaped without being photographed.
It gave us lots of ideas for the future – we’ve all been trying to think about ways to share this work, imagine building something bigger and getting inside.
Getting colder, the pupils used coloured ice to make random paintings. Next week we’ll be taking photographs with hand made ice lenses…
A storm in a teacup
November 15, 2012The wind gusts into a full blown thunder storm this time! Crash, flash! Painting with lights in the darkest room we could find in the school, long exposure photographs are our lightening flashes.
Meanwhile, dripping paint became storm clouds, and we made our very own storm in a teacup (well, a bucket). Dropping glitter, paint, sequins and rice into a swirling atmospheric soup.
Gale Force
November 15, 2012Thinking about the wind this week – how to make it visible, how to record it.
Collecting natural objects, fans blowing, timelapse photography, clouds moving across the sky.
We made a sculpture from an old wheelchair wheel and some coat hangers. Swirling like a tornado.
Weather Portraits

Selecting, projecting and dressing up.
