Monday, wednesday and thursday of this week, Duncan and I came into college rd primary and involved the kids in some arty activities to get them thinking about how the sowing seeds project can in fact be considered as art. In this post you can see the work that the year one class produced. Monday we started with looking through various art books and picking pictures we wanted to do observational drawings from. We followed this by exploring which words described how we felt when we look at or take part in art activities.
Wednesdays session focused on producing leaves describing what we have learn and enjoyed most about the sowing seeds project, on the leaf's other side we drew a picture to represent the sentence. These will be hung off a real tree in Duncan and I's exhibition space for all to see.
Today (thursdays session) we have been potato printing, something which has gone down very well, in particular with the year one class. Using potato stamps cut into shapes of flowers and leaves the children of year one produced some inspiring garden pictures in their art journals.
Along with the work Duncan and I have produced, much to the children's delight, we are also displaying all the children's books within our exhibition. Well done Year one!
