moving art

In y1 today we made wheeled toys. Card and dowel were the materials to hand.

 

One chap added thread to his car to represent exhaust smoke!

 



In y5 we continued our discovery and exploration of space theme by making moving pics of 'Neil Armstrong' - "One small step...".

 



 

When  pulled, the tab causes the legs to move in opposite directions so that he appears to be walking. A5 Card and split pins.

 

3d card models

Today y1 made robots. From a simple pre-printed sheet they crafted some very benign looking 'bots. None of your 'evil, destroy the world at all costs' characters here. 

 

 

Whilst higher up the school in y5 we created 3d space pictures.You probably can't see it all that well from this image but the astronaut figure is held out from the background by a pipecleaner (cunningly doubling up as the safety line).

recent doings

More card model try outs - seem to have got a bit of a thing for these at the moment;


All constructed from the same basic template.

And on my 'painting table' (ooh, sounds grand when you say it like that) - 'Off t'match' ;
