Katie Morag

We recently worked with a group of year 2 children (aged 6 and 7) on an art project inspired by the Katie Morag children's books.
They looked at the stories and how the illustrations were created. They were then encouraged to draw a scottish landscape using water soluble pencils, experiment with wax resist for areas of sky and sea, and finally to paint the images.
As you can see from the examples here, they did a very good job.

Sarcophagus

Over the last ten years we have been involved with a number of school art projects. Recently, we were involved in a project to make an egyptian sarcophagus for a year four group and I documented the progress of the piece. When I showed the images to a friend who works in education he was knocked out and said we should do more. With that in mind, I have set up this blog to show some of the things we have done.

The finished sarcophagus. here are the stages leading up to it;
