Smallwood Primary School Visit
Last week we had Year 6 pupils from Smallwood Primary School visit our department. Mr Brown, with the help of Year 9 pupils, lead a class on how to use collage and oil pastels to create unique monoprints; the results were wonderful!
The Process began by pupils cutting out their selected images and arranging them on an A4 sheet in their own design; Ernest Bevin pupils were able to advise and help where needed.
The next step was to colour a sheet of A4 entirely using oil pastels. We saw really bright contrasting colours in lots of different shapes, styles and patterns, the class really experimented with their creativity which was great to see!
Then the final step was to place the collage face up over the oil pastel sheet, and then draw over areas and outlines of the images. This creates a relief effect when peeled back.
When asked what they had thought of the class, some pupil's comments were:
"I have really enjoyed this session because I got to learn new ways of using pastels. It was really fun"
"I have enjoyed the session because I got to learn new things and be really creative"
We had a great time giving this class and think the results were fantastic - so a big thank you and well done to Smallwood Primary!
