China project
As the children were looking at the zodiac animals last week, we thought it would be fun to let them have free reign with their imagination to come up with a new animal to represent them, they then had a lot of fun turning this animal into a clay master piece!
Have spent today having fun with artist Bethan Sheff and two groups of children (years 5 & 6), experimenting with batik. The children produced some fab designs, which they are going to turn in to bags.
I am really looking forward to this term, I am working on some amazing projects. These include working on creative curriculum development with a primary school in Castle Bromwich, working on ‘China’ as the topic. We have got some exciting ideas for this project, so watch this space. I will also be working on a variety of projects in a high school in Rugby, including, designing and producing a school learning journal, working across the English and Art departments producing story books and working with Religious Studies to produce prayer books and possibly a prayer garden…..can’t wait!!!
I will post pictures as the projects unfold.
Here are some photos from the couple of days I recently facilitated at Garway Primary School, the children were great and produced some fantastic work. By the end of the two days they were pronouncing their names in Japanese as well explaining aspects of Japanese life and what it is like there, it was great how quickly they picked the information up.
