This week we continued with the paintings and building
our models. Can you spot which are going
to be the elephant, panda, dodo and the other animals?…

Today at
Artclub the painters quickly got started on drawing the faces of the animals
from our chosen story The Journey Home by Fran Preston Gannon.
Meanwhile
our sculptors researched their animals of choice from the same story. They found photographs of the animals in real-life
situations and looked at them from different angles to build up their knowledge
of what their model needed to look like in three dimensions. Once they had done this, they set about
developing their models they had started last week.

Today we looked at the animal models and paintings we made
for our Tropical World exhibition last year.
Some of us were part of the team who created them and so we were excited
to see them again. For others it was a
chance to see what animals could be made with recyclable packaging and paper
mache and just how big the paintings are, that we have made before.
We then completed our pictures inspired by the book “The
Journey Home” by Fran Preston Gannon and thought whether we would like to make
a model or paint a picture as our main piece.
Those of us who chose to make a model of one of the animals
in the story selected plastic bottles and boxes and started to build up the
form of the animal. Meanwhile, those who had selected to do a painting/collage
worked together to choose an image they wanted to recreate.

At Artclub we read through the book “The Journey Home” by
Fran Preston-Gannon and looked at the beautiful illustrations. The book tells the story of a polar bear who
sets off to find a new home as the ice is melting and he meets some friends
along the way. The book has a powerful message of conservation and it raised
many interesting questions and comments among our group.
We each chose one illustration from the book and used it to
make our own coloured picture.
