OPEN EVENING- this Thursday!

Would you like to try out the new after school club for children and young people at Rawlins? PHOTOCRAFT is an innovative combination of photography and crafts including fashion shoots, printmaking and mixed media techniques. You can learn about taking good photographs and, best of all, produce amazing artwork with the photographs you take!

On THURSDAY we are having an OPEN SESSION as part of Rawlins' open evening, so why not come along to see what I'm talking about. From 4.00pm to 7.00pm in the maths corridor.

Burton on the Wolds Bird Mural

Working with class 2 at Burton on the Wolds, they helped with the ideas and composition of this bird mural for their outside play area. I painted it in the lovely sunshine today!

BOSCAPS 2011

B.O.S.C.A.P.S. (Barrow On Soar Community Association Play Scheme) has been running at Humphrey Perkins since the seventies and this year is the biggest ever intake- 350 children aged 5 to 13 arrived this morning in their green t-shirts, ready for a week of activities. Sports, dance, art, drama, circus skills- you name it we have it. My art rooms were full of colour- today was about flowers in paper, scraper boards, badge making, mosaics and bags. I can't believe that this is my 11th year!

ScrAFfiGo

Scraffito- heard of it? It is a method of layering plaster of paris onto a sturdy base, creating texture which may be built up, scratched away or texturised with other materials. Not an easy method at all- and the state of the rooms at the end of the day show why this isn't popular in schools or homes!! That IS what art camp is all about though0 trying new and experimental art forms! See the results for yourself, remembering that these are by children aged just 5 to 13.
