Free to be me

We’ve had a fantastic first half of our Arts Fortnight, exploring the book Invisible Things and the different emotions and feelings we might experience. We started by creating a journal to house our thoughts. We’ve also started learning our dance to the song ‘Hounds of Love’ by Kate Bush.

Mrs Johnston guided us through the skill and techniques involved in self-portraits and we had a go – the children focused so much whilst doing this and we will watercolour these next week! We will then begin to transform these into more cartoon-like portraits, like the illustrations in Invisible Things. We’ve also picked our favourite Invisible Thing from the book and started playing around with clay to create a 3d version of this. I personally can’t wait to see the journey and final product of these tomorrow!
