Artworks inspired by Locws International Art Across The City 2011
After an initial discussion and demonstration, the children were eager to start creating using clay, plaster and paint. They got started straight away.
With the idea to cut out lettering, one group splattered, brushed and stepped on the letters to create different effects on the surface of pieces of card. This would eventually spell ‘Believe in yourself’. The final piece of work becoming a colourful sensory mobile.
On our site visit ‘Little bird’, had no feet, this sparked off ideas to add feet to her ‘on site’ and this idea also carried itself through to the workshop days .A large number of the class were involved in making a sculpture of, ‘Little bird’ and lining up various shoes near her to portray the loss of hers. Many ‘Little birds’ were also made as a tribute to the above situation.
Everyone enjoyed the workshops and loved getting stuck into hands on sculptural work, resulting in some awesome pieces of art.
