Rooms 1 and 6 "Garden Artists"

We are basing our arts learning around the garden. 
Observational Drawing
We went down to the garden with our sketch boards and found a quiet place to just sit and sketch. We are learning to make observational drawings, so we spent some time just looking at (observing) what we were going to draw. We drew the main shapes first and then added detail.

Gabriel finds a shady spot to sketch

We are going to work on these sketches in class, adding detail and maybe some shading. We will develop our sketches into another artwork. 











Dance

Room 1 showing Ms Shilling what they have so far

We made up moves based on "working in the garden". We had to have a set of 8 steps. Then we taught our moves to a partner, and learnt our partners moves. Each pair ended up knowing two sets of 8 steps. We practiced our moves until we knew them off by heart.

Room 6 practicing their moves

We will continue to add to our moves until we develop a little dance sequence based on "working on the garden'. We will put our dance moves to music. 
This little video is of us working on our moves together.
