This week we enjoyed listening to Raffi during our mark-making. We looked at work by British artist Robert Bradford for some inspiration:
and started right in by decorating our favourite animals:
We also started another group painting with lots of wisps of paint strokes. It seems very abstract (doesn't really represent something we would literally see in life) and in some parts very expressive (shows a lot of feeling). We can continue to add to this one next week, or start another.

We created amazing creatures from our imaginations. Your creatures are so lively and animated--we will need to spend a few minutes next class having them do more dancing and playing together. Do you think they need names?
When we finished our creatures, you all nicely asked to get your sketchbooks and just started working on some drawings with interest and determination. That was awesome.
Thank you for a great class. We will work with our animals more next week. We can make them a home, make them some parents or even make them some new friends out of different materials.
Have a great week and thank you again for all your art work and play!Sylvie
