Only 'Yoking'

 Today the children made some Easter eggs and Easter Baskets.  The eggs were boiled and dyed with 'Natural' colouring agents including, vinegar, red onion, turmeric and 'natural' food colourings.  They stuck a variety of materials to the eggs as a stencil such as stickers, elastic bands, ribbon, lace and lots more.  The end results 'Eggstravigant'.  They also learned in the process which dye worked the best and we also learned the difference between free range and caged hens.

Messy Madness

Tonight the kids @halewoodsarts are doing a bit of everything and anything.  Tonight is a chill out night were the kids can do whatever they like.  The boys have decided to make some quirky aeroplanes and the girls drew some interesting horses and cats.  They have decided to experiment with materials and objects and have come up with some great ideas as usual.

Zoe "I really enjoyed learning the six steps from the Manga Book". 

The children produced some amazing work from the workshop, using the step by step guides.  They then took on there own style by working into the drawings with colour. 

Below is a showcase of some of the other work the children produced

Recycling to create Flowers

For the last 2 weeks the children have been using discarded materials to create their own flowers and mini gardens in a box.
They have used a variety of techniques and materials, exploring the textures, shapes, and flexibility of the materials. Also making a right mess with paint and glue!

They have been supported by Carole, Sheila, and Emma.

Next week we are going to try and create our own limericks.

Geometry and Spirals

For the final session before the Summer break Emma and I assisted the Junior Artists Club to create intricate 8 sided figures that can be manipulated. We also made Windmills from an old Veolia calendar, a broken bracelet, some bottle tops, and pieces of eraser. A real bit of recycling.
