OPEN DOOR with Shantona


Session 8

We were all excited about seeing our animation and the photos that were taken in the last session, so Rozi started by showing us the animation on the large tv screen. It was amazing how everyone’s pieces formed different patterns and the colours were fantastic. Every one of us got a print-out of the still photo we had chosen, to use as inspiration.



So now that we had experimented with creating different shapes and patterns through this fantastic photo app, we were introduced to the next stage – making canvases.  We started by experimenting with colour, looking at contrasting colours and how the colours worked well together. We mixed lots of colours – ‘ it was funny when the paint started splattering & splodging out of the tubes’, it was a little messy but fun.  We had lots of vibrant colours and the opportunity to be creative with these. We all mixed colours, some were vibrant and colourful, others became dull and dark because we mixed lots of different colours in one tub.


We then chose one colour to paint the canvas – the canvas will be used as part of the base with lots of patterns, shapes and objects arranged over the top in the coming weeks.  We also revisited MBW work to remind and inspire us.


Once again Musarat reminded us to bring three chosen objects as we had forgotten; these objects will be used as part of our canvas piece.
