The kaleidoscope animations created on
the iPad last week were screened on the big screen telly, and left running
throughout the session, to provide inspiration.
This week, “We have been creating mood
boards. These show multiple colour combinations, details and patterns.
The table was filled with bowls of
beads, gems, buttons, sparkly bits, paper flowers, foam butterfly shapes,
embroidery threads; coloured, patterned and hand-made paper.
“I love the table. There are so many
colours everywhere."
Everyone started with a piece of A3
coloured card, and then chose whatever they wanted to use, selecting objects
for colour, and arranging them on the card to form patterns. Also combining
some of these with paint.
“I liked arranging all the little bits
on the board!
“I’ve enjoyed adding more colours with
the paint”
Sticky foam pads were used to extend
some of the designs upwards, making these into 3D patterns. “Building the
shapes up in to 3D shapes has been good fun. The foam pads have worked really
well”.
Musarat also demonstrated a technique
using wax paper, and wax crayons, to create a batik effect. This paper can then
be cut into any shape required. We’ll progress on to this next week.
“I’ve enjoyed making a wax heart.
At the end of the session the group
discussed what should be written in the blog.
“I absolutely love this”
