How we created opportunities for learning

The children will share their ideas about their work and the work of their classmates.
The children will lay out all the work completed so far and talk about the next step and the journey to date.

Background

We have been working on the art project for all of term two. We have explored paint, sewing, ripping and tearing, and printmaking. We have not looked at the works collectively until today. We have looked at individual works and we have trimmed around our prints.

Helen brought us two large pieces of canvas, with eyelets for hanging. We placed the works completed so far onto the large white canvas pieces.

Learning story

We placed the prints where they could be seen. We set out a few bird shapes on the canvas.

The class gathered around and we discussed individual works, as well as the look of the collective work. We discussed some of the other works that have grown from our work with the printing technique and Brittany commented on Keriann’s tussock print: “She did it all by herself”. We revisited the sewing and Brittany again recognised and commented on her pink thread: “I chose pink and I worked with Marshall”.

We talked about making some bird silhouettes to include in the work.

It was mostly a talking session and a number of times the children said, “Can we paint now?”

They seemed interested in the look so far and held their works proudly when asked to find details to show their classmates.
