Let's Animate It!:

Animation for Key stage 01-04

DCF: Frame - Green Screen - iMovie

Using three simple apps we explore the basic principles of animation. Creating small production teams we create scripts and storylines using relevant topics and themes from all areas of the curriculum. We create animated films making use of green screen techniques and adding spoken and background audio. We then export the films to a designated web platform.Book in for a taster day or a week of animation sessions for the whole school.

Lets Film it!:

Video for Key Stage 02-04

DCF: iMovie - 8mm - Camera - GreenScreen

Using any topic or following on from the Let's Sing It! and using the music track we will create small video production crews who will learn the basics of video making. We can then make either a Music video, Documentary or Feature film depending on the schools needs and timeframe. This is a very exciting and dynamic program that can be tailored to so many curricula opportunities.

Lets sing it!:

Music for Key Stage 01-04

DCF: GarageBand - Editing - Recording

Using any topic or theme we explore a variety of music genres and vote on the most popular choice for the subject matter. We then set about exploring the theme and generating lyric pools.We then gather around these lyric pools and as a class group we build our song together collectively - encouraging everyone to bring and offer ideas to the song. We then record and perform our track.

Let's Make it!:

3D Art for Key Stage 01-04

Clay - Plaster of Paris - Paints

Using any topic as a basis for the process we will create a composite structure from multiples of plaster positives. we will choose the topic / theme and investigate what our final image will be. This is then divided up into the appropriate amount of tiles or bricks and the pupils are given a tile of their own to work on. They will be using tools to carve out the shapes and design. We will then place these into our timber frames and pour plaster of Paris into them. Finally they will all come back together to reform the original image only now in positive relief.

Let's Face it!:

2D Art for Key Stage 01-04

Photography - Mark Making - Art Genres

Using the head as our subject we not only explore it physically but we use our 5 senses to explore our memories and ideas. We will take photos of each other and print out the images and then using known art ratios divide up the face to create composite pupils portraits. We discuss what makes us who we are with physically and then using our senses we explore how explore the world around us. We then return to our faces to look at Cubist art and why and how it is used. We then use ratios to upgrade our images to a larger scale and paint onto timber.
