more doodles

Some more sketches. This new 'style' is evolving. I might try and paint a few pictures up if I get the time in between teaching and all of the ceramic stuff. Am seriously considering going large!

 

 

circus

Our FS1 setting has a circus theme in one of it's areas. Today we coloured 'acrobats' to hang from a 'high wire' (woollen thread).This is a pic of my mock-ups to test the idea out. Obviously based heavily on those plastic monkeys that come in a barrel.

 

 

We've also been drawing clowns. From the starting point of a triangle and, by following step by step instructions the children have drawn some fantastic juggling clowns- not bad for 3 year olds.

balancing clowns

Design Technology has replaced Art on the timetable this half term. We're 'doing' moving toys. This week we thought about linear, rotating and rocking movements, played with paper and sketched some possible designs. We used a circle folded in half as the basis for our rockers and envisaged horses, boats etc. I was inspired, and after school played around with the idea of balancing stuff on the rocker - came up with this. It takes a bit of patience to balance the clowns on the rocking base - am thinking this could possibly be offered as a downloadable.

Would welcome any thoughts.
