Bookmaking - Week 3

We looked at a variety of Artist's Books. The children saw how different books can be made; from  collections of small sewn books in a boxes, to folded concertina books and pamphlets. In this workshop the children each had the opportunity to each create a sewn book and a 'trouser-fold' book. They then made hard covers for them and decorated them, adding beads, and pockets to make them individual.  

Monoprinting - Week 2

This week the children learnt some monoprinting and monotyping techniques. They were inspired by plant and animal displays.

Self Portraits - Week 1

Wow! The children created some stunning and unique pieces of art!

The children were made aware of the proportions of the head, face and body. They were asked to use paint for their clothes and charcoal and pastel for their hands and face. They were encouraged to use big brushes to cover large surfaces, and smaller brushes or soft chalk pastels for smaller areas or detail.
