<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is with a sad and heavy heart that I write this blog, after a four year battle with cancer my mother passed away peacefully on the 11th May surrounded by her family at St Luke's Hospice. Throughout my mothers painful battle she never stopped encouraging me to follow my dreams, explore my creativity and believe that I could be all that I want to be. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I look back over the years I was amazed at how much art work I have created where my mother has been my muse, my inspiration, my motivation and driving force. She has collected bottle tops, cartons, saved her crosswords, modelled for me and collected inspirational images for years - often clogging up her tiny flat all for the sake of art! Never once questioning my motive, just trusting in my judgement.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> One of my earliest memories is of going to a second hand market and being given 50p to purchase some cloth to make something out off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So it is with this blog that I want to say thank you mum, for being you, for always believing in me and hopefully instilling in me all that you hoped and dreamed of for me, God Bless and sleep tight, love you x</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are just a few of the many pieces inspired by my mother.</span></div>

Alfred Nobel (he of the international Peace Prize), The Laboratory was severely

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Key Stage 1:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Key stage one children might find these
a little difficult to sew, but there are options to make this more adaptable.
If you have the time you can use a hole punch and make holes around the outside
of the felt/funky foam and younger children can sew the pieces together with a
tapestry needle and wool. Obviously this takes a lot of time in the preparation
stages, so planning ahead is vital. Alternatively children can draw and cut to
the best of their abilities around templates. These can be cut out with the
help of an adult and then the pieces can be glued together rather than sewn. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Key Stage 2:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Using patterns or pictures as guides,
key stage 2 pupils should be able to use a template and cut around this to
acquire all the shapes and piece for their decoration. Once again key stage 2
children can sew the main body of the piece together and glue the additional
pieces to the decoration for speed. Why not have the children make a couple of
decorations and sell them at the school fete?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gifted and Talented: </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gifted and Talented pupils could play
around with creating their own designs and making their own templates. Encourage
the children to look carefully at the theme they are going to make, i.e a
robin. What are the main parts they will need? what are the shapes? how many
pieces? what size is your decoration going to be? Look at the size of the wings
on the robin compared with the body, the beak, the eye and so on and so forth.
Think about scale, character, colour and adding your own unique finish. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

shape your luggage is going to be. Once you have planned out the design for
your luggage fold a piece of card in half and draw your design on. It is
important to make sure that the bottom of your luggage is in line with the fold
on the piece of card.</span></li>

to turn the suitcase into a book. Cut some white (or what ever coloured paper
your desire) to the size of your suitcase. I folded mine in half and laid the
suitcase on top of the paper. I then drew around the outside of the suitcase
with a pencil. This was then reduced by 1 cm all the way around to ensure that
the pages would fit snugly into the book.</span></li>

of Christmas themed decorations allowing the children to decorate the cover of
their book. Instead of using a suitcase for a template, you can fold a paper
plate in half and add a string handle on. The text can be typed on a computer,
printed and stuck into the book – adding I.T skills to the project.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

illustrate their story in the book. You could encourage them to write this on
different coloured paper and glue into the book or write directly onto the
pages. Sometimes children get a little worried about making a mistake. If the
work is drawn/written on paper prior to going into the book it can help relieve
some of the worry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

could add pop up elements to their book or little pockets with pieces that pop
out. You could also ask pupils to consider taking photos to tell their story.
This adds a different dimension to the book and pupils have to consider,
lighting, composition and content of the photo to say or create the mood in the
story.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a piece of paper, plan out the
design of your collage. Think about your favourite place you would like to
visit at Christmas it could be a country, a favourite spot at a park or
even grandmas sofa.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will need to decide what image you
are going to collage on top of your favourite place. I have chosen a
Christmas tree but you could use an angel, a star, the nativity, a bauble
etc.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Collect all of your images. Be careful
if you are using the Internet to look for images, shutter stock has some
great images that you can use for a small charge. Alternatively you can
collect your images from magazines, newspaper, photographs, wrapping
paper, Christmas cards etc.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have decided to create my collage in
a square shape but again, you can create your collage to any shape or
size. Cut out your image of your favourite place to the size and shape
required. Mount this picture onto a piece of brightly coloured paper to
give you’re your base for your collage.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p>C</o:p>arefully mark on the back of your
image to be collaged on top of your base. Cut along these lines with care.
Think about how you are going to space these on your collage.</span></li>

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Differentiation:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Key stage 1:</b> You can use pre cut shapes or
templates for younger children to colour and cut out. This is a great activity
to practice scissor skills, however why not have the children rip and tear the
images out giving your rough edges – adding to the effect. Painted hand prints with
a red dot on the middle finger and a squiggly off the thumb makes a great reindeer
– give it a try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Key stage 2:</b> Why not extend the collage by adding additional
layers that can hang from the central section? This can be done by cello taping
another shape to the bottom of the shape above. Once again you have to
carefully think about weight distribution and balance. If you make one side to
heavy the collage will tilt when hung. Instead of using string why not use
pipecleaners to attach the hanging images. You can bend the pipecleaners into
lots of different positions so the hanging images don’t all hang in the same
direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An
alternative method of adhering the hanging images to the central image could be
to use a hole punch and tie the hanging images in place using wool.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Gifted and Talented:</b> Think about the use of symmetry with
the Collage. Imagine there is a mirror held in the centre on the image, both
sides should look alike and mirror each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Consider
additional impact such as cutting out the windows from buildings house, having
a door that opens, a star that lifts to reveal a message etc to create areas of
interest to your collage and make it stand out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time of year you are hard pushed to see anyone walking about without the adornment of a red paper poppy. Traditionally the poppy is worn in remembrance of soldiers past and present that have served in the British forces. Poppies are worn throughout the end of October until the 11th of November – Remembrance Sunday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This blog will show you how to customise you official poppy to suit your style. Popular TV programmes have seen the stars wearing Swarovski poppies, which in turn has led to alot of companies making replicas and selling them on to the public under the pretence of raising money for the Royal British Legion. I want to show you how you can use an official poppy and create similar effects with a few crafts resources. </span><br />

To get this effect I mixed up a couple of shades red acrylic paint using black, red and white paint. I then painted the red petals using various shades. The leaf was painted with green acrylic paint. The paint add a sheen to the poppy which can be enhanced with a varnish or a coat of PVA glue. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">1. On a piece of paper, plan out the design of your mobile. Think about what your theme is going to be and what objects, images etc you want hanging from the bottom of the mobile. For example you could choose to make a tree with lots of leaves hanging off the branches. These could all have a different words for Autumn written on them; or you could have your central piece as the horn of life with harvest festival items hanging from below. For the purposes of this worksheet I have chosen to work on a haunted house theme.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">2. Sketch out your objects that will be hanging from your central piece on a piece of card. I have chosen to use a witch, a bat and a ghost. You can have as many items hanging as you like but try to think about the balance of the piece and where they are going to hang. If you have a large shape on one side and a small shape on the other the mobile will hang crooked.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Key stage 1:</b> You can use pre cut shapes ortemplates for younger children to colour and cut out. This is a great activityto practice scissor skills, however if you are making a spooky themed mobilethe children can rip and tear the images out giving your rough edges – addingto the effect. Painted hand prints upside down with a pair of google eyes makeexcellent ghosts – give it a try.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Key stage 2:</b> Why not extend the mobile by addingone of more layers to the hanging section? This can be done by cello tapinganother shape to the bottom of the shape above. Once again you have tocarefully think about weight distribution and balance. If you make one side toheavy the mobile will tilt. Instead of using string why not use pipecleaners toattach the hanging images. You can bend the pipecleaners into lots of differentpositions so the hanging images don’t all hang in the same direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Analternative method of adhering the hanging images to the central image could beto use a hole punch and tie the hanging images in place using wool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Gifted and Talented:</b> Think about the use of symmetry withthe mobile design. Imagine there is a mirror held in the centre on the image,both sides should look alike and mirror each other. You can make the sameshapes to hang each side with maybe a slight colour change. Consider colouringand working on both sides of the images so as the piece spins around presentinga 3D feel to the mobile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Consideradditional impact such as cutting out the windows of the house, having a doorthat opens etc to create areas of interest to your mobile and make it standout.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why not use this mobile making activity as a creative writing tool?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> You could link this activity to a class project. I have mocked up a version of a mobile based on the theme of Autumn. I have drawn a wellington boot as the central image with a puddle underneath and my poem forming the splashes. I assembled my mobile using pipecleaners which allowed me to bend the pipecleaners to make it look like the boot was jumping in the puddle. I have then used the word “puddle” to make an acrostic poem, writing each word onto a separate piece of card. These pieces have been attached individually underneath the puddle. These look great as part of a wall display.</span></span>Auntie Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09191751572504240621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958148916086862496.post-14252197346758535592012-10-13T15:13:00.001-07:002012-10-22T12:30:30.250-07:00Spooky Book Marks<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Brief Description:</b> What a great way to inspire young readers - create your own unique book mark. These cute bookmarks have been designed with an Autumn or Halloween theme, but these can be adapted to any theme. Intricate designs can take time to complete to make this a full lesson or designs can be supplied to make this an extension activity. This activity can also be used for fund raising ideas for school fetes, with children making numerous bookmarks that can be sold to friends, parents, governors and stakeholders</span></span></div>

for my bookmarks. Using the ruler as a marker, draw a further column. Draw
the topper over the top of the column as illustrated in the picture to the
right. Make sure the topper is slightly wider than the column- this will
allow the topper to sit on the top of the book page.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>

websites where you can get pre-printed bookmark designs that younger children
can use and colour in (website address listed at the back of this pack).
Alternatively you could encourage the children to use stencils and various
collage materials on their bookmarks – using wool to create spider webs,
stickers of themed subjects, you can even encourage the children to collect a
leaf from outside place it under the piece of paper and rub over the top using
a crayon to create a unique autumn leaf bookmark.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the back of their book mark that will compliment the design on the front.
Rather than have just one topper on the bookmark, children could create a
series of images to adhere to the bookmark. If the bookmark was a witches broom
stick you could add a witch and one end, a cat in the middle and a spell book
at the end. An autumn day could have an umbrella at the top, leaves and rain
drops whirling around the centre and a pair of wellington boots at the base and
so on and so forth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

colour. Ie. If the children are working in coloured pencil or pencil, look at
the use of shading and range of colours that can be applied. If using collage
materials are they appropriate for the image, do they enhance the piece? You
could also encourage pupils to add an intricate border feature patterns, words
or symbols related to the centre images, or even use a needle and thread and
blanket stitch a border.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

making the spider could be to twist the four pipecleaners together roughly in
the centre. The children can then move the legs to the required positions. Try
to encourage them to create shapes with the legs like a reverse letter “r” or a
“L”. Children can glue either a piece of fur, pom pom or some wool on the top
for the body part and finish with google eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Keystage 2:</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Children can experiment more with pipecleaners
by twisting two different colours together for the legs. This will make the
spider more colourful and dynamic however this will make to joining of the pom
pom slightly more difficult due to the added thickness of the pipecleaners.
Children could try adding a pom pom or piece of fur on the end of each leg for
a foot.</span></div>

consider other materials that they can use or add to their spider, such as
sequins, feathers, wool etc. Encourage the children to think very carefully
about how these materials will enhance the spider rather than adding materials
which could make the spider look busy. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

spiders and insects that the centre has. I for one have often fled like a small
child from a spider, a wasp or unknown creepy crawlie. But when you look at
them up close they are an engineering phenomenon. They have stunning structure,
colours, detail and are...dare I say actually quite cute! Using water-soluble
crayons I created a series of six drawings depicting these creatures up close. The
bold and bright colours, fine lines and frottage compliment the paintings colours
and textured surface.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">As part of this year’s Basildon Art Trail, I managed to convince my husband to finally exhibit some of his amazing photographs. For over 20 years he has been taking pictures for me to use for drawings, paintings, reference etc; and as you can image he has quite a collection. He has an eye for capturing the essence of the day, the space the subject in his work. So here....for the first time are some of his glorious photographs.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Paper craft is a
passion of mine - the way paper can be manipulated, transformed and altered
into something new and dynamic, I always find fascinating. For this blog I want
to share a project I have worked on for the past year within my commission with
BEST (Basildon Education Services Trust). I was delighted when alongside
delivering various projects for the Basildon Challenge, I was asked to create a
rosette to record and celebrate the completion of each challenge for the
schools taking part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Basildon
Challenge started in 2011 as an annual programme of monthly challenges for
pupils to complete at school, at home and in the community. The process
involves motivating pupils to rise to each Challenge and show what they are
capable of doing, aiming to instill a sense of pride and self-confidence in our
youngsters that will help them to grow and develop as learners. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

included Growing a sunflower, counting the stars, writing a letter, taking part

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I had the privilege of meeting a very talented young girl called Kaitlyn Palmer. At the age of 10 Kaitlyn loves to explore the use of tissue paper, pva glue, card and paint to create her own unique bear sculptures. I spent only a few minutes talking with Kaitlyn and was totally impressed by her passion and commitment to her art work.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the heading of the blog indicates I am always surprised and impressed by our young artists talents. I was delighted when Kaitlyn brought this beautiful bear in to sit on our desk at the Gallery 2 space throughout the duration of the Basildon Art Trail. After talking to me in the gallery Kaitlyn went straight home and made this for our gallery.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last month has been a busy one for me, hence the lack of blogs!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have been busy producing a series of drawings and paintings for the upcoming Basildon Art Trail which I am going to make you wait a few more days before I reveal the final selection of work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But for today I thought you might like to see my new work in the Basildon Art Gallery. I have revisited an old piece of art work that was shown at the RK Burt gallery in London's Southbank - shirts!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent hours folding little paper shirts, using magazines, newspapers and printed papers. In each of the boxes there are over 500 folded shirts. I have always enjoyed the obsessive nature that sneaks into my work and find repetition compelling. The repetition and obsessiveness of this piece can be related to the routine of everyday working lives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gallery is open 10:00am-4:00pm all week so why not pop along and have a look. BEA Gallery, Level 1, Eastgate Shopping Centre.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As part of the build up for this years Art Trail , my venue has given me the opportunity to hold two workshops a 2D workshop and the other a 3D workshop. For the 2D workshop we invited children of all ages to come along to the centre and draw their favourite bug. The Essex Field Club has an amazing selection of specimens, computer logs and books that the children used as resources along with a slide show of bugs I had put together. Most of the children chose to use specimens that had been collected and encased in resin. This allowed the children to really observe what they were drawing, to hold it in their hands and look up close to where the legs joined, what colours the bugs were, where their antennae and wings were placed and so forth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having volunteers from the Essex Field Club on hand meant that the children could ask questions about the bug, where they were from, what was their habitat, what they ate ... etc and be provided with expert answers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I encouraged the children to take their time, to spend at least 5 minutes observing what they were going to draw and guiding them as to what parts I would draw first and how I would section the drawing off.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">This Summer I have
had the pleasure of working with some talented Art tutors and some even more
talented children. Over the course of the summer holiday children from schools
around Basildon have been attending activities based at local schools run by
BEST (Basildon Education Service Trust). The children have taken part in
pentathlons, cookery sessions, dodgeball, speed skills, film production, an Art
academy, paint workshops and many more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">During the session children are provided with the opportunity to experiment with materials some of which they may not have used before. I love watching children get their hands dirty and splatter paint, experience physically how it moves across a surface and discover the wide range of marks and effects they can cause themselves. This blog shows off some of my favourite pieces made in workshop for children aged between 5-11years - tutored by Paul Rix-Clancy and Angela Ferguson</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">This blog showcases
some of the stunning work which can currently be viewed as part of the Barley
Lands Art Trail. Following the success of last year’s event, this time the art
trail has been extended to run for a whole month, allowing more people to have
the opportunity to view the local talent of Essex, both professional and
amateur. Now in its third year, galleries and workshops within the Barleylands
Craft Village have again opened their doors to local artists to display their
work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The trail was
formed two years ago by a voluntary committee with the aim of creating opportunities
and links between local artists, business and community whilst promoting the
profile of all three.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The Barleylands
Craft Village is the perfect venue for such an event of this kind as it is home
of more than fifty studio shops working with a whole host of materials
including paint, canvas, paper, clay, glass and steel to produce an array of
unique products. Take the opportunity to visit soon and view some great art and
very creative product.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">This September I have been lucky enough to be on of the many artists selected to showcase their artwork at the stunning Barleylands Craft Village as part of the Barleylands Art Trail 2012.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">When I was a child I loved jumping on bouncy castles, laughing, giggling,
falling over, going on adventures with my brothers and sister, playing cards,
board games, top trumps and the Atari! No fear of hurting myself, what I looked
like, who would be watching - just fun. As an adult with the pressures of a
family, work commitments, mortgage, household bills - we forget about how
curious we were as children, how fearless we were, how we trusted in our
imaginations and believed whatever it would conceive – was achievable! Instead
we spend much of our adult years reminiscing about the past, afraid to take
challenges, try new things or take risks. As part of the Barleylands Art Trail,
my exhibition contains several interactive pieces of art that I hope encourage
adults to remember what it physically feels like to be a child again, to let
go, to have fun, to laugh. The memories on the Bouncy Castle and table cloth
are those of my siblings, friends and my own. I hope that you have the courage
to go back in time and have a bounce or two, visit the Wigwam, share your
memories and </span><b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">let the child in you come to life</span></b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">One of the things I love about being an artist working in schools is watching children achieve above and beyond their expectations. This stunning piece of
art work was produced by 8 pupils from Greensted Infants as part of their Shine
day 2012. The idea of the Shine Day is that pupils from the school are provided
with the opportunity to explore and “show-off” activities, subjects, talents
and skills they believe they shine in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For this
project we started the day off by completing a drawing of our favourite things.
For most of the children this consisted of animals in the wild. Once we
completed our drawings we decided to draw images of various animals and add
patterns for texture and effect. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Norval
Morrisseau was born in the early 1930s on the Sandy Point Lake Reserve north of
Thunder Bay in Ontario Canada.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">He was
raised by his Grandparents and through them learned traditional Ojibwa customs,
values and beliefs. It was in his youth that he received - from his Grandfather
- his "mission" to share through art, all of those things he was
taught to respect about Ojibwa culture.<br />
During the 1950s, Morrisseau was hospitalized with Tuberculosis. While in
hospital, he began painting and drawing his visions on birch bark and brown
paper bags... he painted visions which were uniquely his own. Later, in the
1960s he travelled widely to bush communities in Canada and visited some
northern Minnesota reservations where he met with many who today are considered
knowledgeable elders, both to learn from them and to teach. He taught by
painting, as well as writing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A
medicine man or shaman, Morrisseau developed a style which has since evolved
and been used by many Native artists. The style is called the Eastern Woodland
Style and can be seen in the works of Daphne Odjig, Carl Ray and Blake
Debassige. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Once the children had
completed their designs we evaluated the images and chose aspects we
liked. We then looked and Morrisseau’s work and chose an image to
amalgamate with the drawings created by the children.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We worked on three canvases,
(this allowed a few children to work on one piece at a time without
overcrowding) that would be put together at the end to create the finished
piece of work. A rough outline was pencilled on ready to be painted.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The children used acrylic
paint to paint in the sections . Thinking carefully about colour, brush
stroke, directing of the brush stroke and texture.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Once the main areas were
painted in the children carefully added the important black outline – for
this image this represents the energy and emotion of the family of birds
pictured within.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Finally we added some
additional detail and texture using our fingers. We decided that our image
depicted a family of birds looking out from a cave where they were
sheltering watching the sun set and the moon rise.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
