auction pt3
The celeb auction finished today - we raised 450 euros! The highest bid was for a signed sketch by Stirling Moss & his son. The whole exhibition was highly praised - lots of quality pieces. Will leave it up for a couple of days as we are being 'inspected'!

Snapped a few of the celeb artworks that are in the auction that runs alongside the art exhibition this week. These are by Jacqueline Wilson, Bob Hoskins,Frankie Dettori, Korky Paul and Jan Pienkowski - can you guess who created which one? (No prizes!).

art week 1
Been trying to do lots of art this week - in between all the other frantic end of year stuff. The overall theme for the week is 'Line, shape & pattern' which hopefully gives all the staff quite a loose rein to cover a very wide range of stuff.
My class started off by looking at Picasso's use of line, in that he conveys and represents a recognisable image using the minimum of marks, often in the form of a continous line. Here's one of the children's pics;
Today we looked at Paul Klee and his mix of line and shape.We used watercolours to paint images in his style - these are looking very promising;
The idea is to, next week, hold a week-long exhibition of pieces created by the whole school. We're going for quality rather than trying to display every single piece by every single child. Hopefully serves as a bit of an incentive/pride thing.

Alongside the exhibition we are also holding a 'running auction' of celebrity 'artworks'. Several months ago I 'invited' over 100 celebs, film stars, sports & TV personalities to send in artwork based around the letter 'H'. Why the letter 'H' ? Because the proceeds from the auction will go to the charity 'Help for Heroes'. I've managed to get 20 pieces from: Korky Paul, Jan Pienkowski, Michael Morpurgo, Jacqueline Wilson, Bob Hoskins, Bernard Cribbins, Frankie Dettori to name just a few. Some are real works of art, some are doodles, but all are unique! Hopefully they should raise a bob or two. Might post some images up later in the week. If I was a bit more technically minded perhaps I could have listed them online at the same time thereby inviting internet bids. Never mind, maybe next time.
Phew- back to report writing!
