Last Wednesday, Jen was with us again for art and will be with us every Wednesday for the next little while.

We were learning about the creative process. We started off with a quick and messy sketch of something that inspired us. Then it got more exiting. We got to use different materials such as wall paper to make  two more copies. Then we got onto our good copy. This gave us a taste of what the creative process is all about.

When we all finished, we went around the school looking at possible ideas for our real assignment. We couldn’t just choose anything to snap a picture of. We have been learning about values and how the media (such as advertising, magazines and more). Our picture had to be related to how The Media and Advertising can influence and affect our values and the way we behave and the choices we make. We thought of ideas such as something representing fighting to show us fighting against what the media wants us to believe. We came up with lots of other good ideas. By next Wednesday we need to have our picture.

Stay tuned for future posts about how our work with Jen is coming along!
