enhancements

Y3 enhanced and embellished their 'Gorgon' pieces the other day. Sequins, crayons and felt tips were all employed.

 

Y6 continued with their printing mini-unit. They used sticks/'found' materials to add to their hand/finger prints from last week.

Next up - potato printing!

recently

In y3 we created some Gorgon pictures. We used sharpies for the heads/faces and then blew watered-down paint to represent the writhing and wriggling mass of snakes atop.

 

In y5 we continued along our Green/enhancing the environment theme by painting some small stones.

Meanwhile I've been adapting an old 'farm animal' domino box by installing a simple automaton mechanism. The right-hand side will feature the poseable peg ballerina from a recent post whilst the left will still be a useable space. I'm hoping that the ballerina will rotate!

painting

In Y3 we used straws to blow watery paint around.

 

 

We then used these fantastic 'paintings' to create images of the Gorgon's - those mythical sisters from Ancient Greece (Medusa, Stheno & Euryole) who, with one glance, could turn you to stone. 

 

We used ring reinforcers ( those little sticky circles) for the eyes and added other details with felt tip pens.
