Portraits

Today the y1's finished their collage self-portraits. I think they turned out quite well. We added nostrils and eyebrows as well as eyelashes!

And a couple more cards - should have taken the pic before putting them in the cellophane packets!

My colleague is back at work, albeit on a phased return to work, but the day when I can get back to just teaching Art (with a bit of Design Tech thrown in) draws ever nearer! Yay!!

back

Back to school today after the half term break. There may be light on the horizon - I might be going back to doing my art 'job' soon as my injured colleague appears to well on the mend! Fingers and everything else crossed. Todays doodle;

pollack & doodle

In art club this week we embellished our strip woven pieces by adding woollen threads and card 'buttons'. They turned out quite 'Jackson Pollacky' !

 

 

Today's doodle - 'bowling 'bot', A5, ink & pencil on paper.

 

big game

Today's doodle is in anticipation of tonight's footy game between England & Poland. England need to win to qualify for next years World Cup Finals in Brazil. Here's hoping that the Polish goalie doesn't emulate his countryman from 1973 who kept the then England side at bay and positively refused to let the ball go past him. Fingers crossed for a win!

 

 

unsure

Took a different tack today and tried out a pic of boys playing footy. Not yet finished but also not sure if it 'works'. Tried to portray them with 'stringy' legs and big hobnail boots. Again, if anyone feels like chipping in their twopennorth  I'd be very grateful.

robot cards

Have just listed some cards in my Etsy shop. Each one is hand-drawn (not printed) and bears a line illustration of a 'bot with spot colouring. They are supplied complete with envelopes in random packs of 3 (though you can stipulate whether you would prefer boy or girl 'bots). A bargain - 3 original pieces of art for little more than a coffee and sandwich!

Some more quick sketches - anyone for tennis?

Jake in boxer shorts!

Just listed in my Etsy shop - an energetic and flexible Jake doing his early morning exercises!

Jakes reappear

Have decided to see how well the 'Jakes' go down again (see way, way back for their conception).


First up is a red footy kitted figure.

more cards

A couple more cards - landscape orientation this time just for a change.

boy 'bots

Getting away from the girly 'bots briefly (!) - doodled a page of boy robots.
