Happy Friday Everyone,
Have you had a go at this weeks community challenge yet?
Not to worry you still have time to bust a move or two and send it to your teacher.
I thought i’d help you with some suggestions of dance moves:
Want to keep learning and dancing away, how about you try out our Dance Comprehension work where you watch a range of dances and answer questions on them, click below to carry out this fun activity.
Now that the trees are in leaf and many of the flowers in our gardens are beginning to bloom, I thought we could try making decorative eye masks using natural materials.
Wearing decorative masks can be traced back to history of Venice and its carnival celebrations. The tradition of mask-wearing started in the 13th century when Venetians held many celebrations and parties. They would wear elaborate masks to hide their identity, just like you may do at Hallowe’en.
Click on the Sway below to find a step-by-step guide for making your own mask. It’s very simple, and you need only a few resources. Remember to ask for an adult’s permission first!
Here is another quick tutorial: How to make a Leaf Mask
Don’t worry if you can’t find any leaves or flowers – you could cut out leaf and flower shapes from coloured tissue or paper, or even draw your own.
Here is a link to a simple mask template which you can download and print out: Mask Template
Once your mask is finished, why not make up a short play and then act it out while wearing your mask? I look forward to seeing all your creations!
I hope that you have enjoyed your first week of Expressive Arts fortnight. This week, I have read chapter 1 of J.K. Rowling’s new book , ‘The Ickabog’. Have you managed to read the first chapter too?

I had great fun following the simple steps and copying the people on the screen.
Hold Still, a portrait of our nation in 2020, is an ambitious community project to create a unique photographic portrait which captures the spirit, mood, hopes, fears and feelings of the nation as we continue to deal with isolation and uneasy times.
The Duchess and the National Portrait Gallery invite you to submit your own photographic portrait, taken during these extraordinary times, which responds to one of the following themes:
You can find more information at : Hold Still
We would really love for you all to give this a go whether you decide to submit it or not you can always share this with your teacher.
I’ve teamed up with a friend of mine who is a photographer in her spare time, she has very kindly created a powerpoint with some helpful tips to help support and develop your photography skills.

In today’s post, I am challenging you to become an art critic.
An art critic is a person who specialises in analysing, interpreting and evaluating works of art. Their written reviews are published in newspapers, magazines, books, exhibition brochures, catalogues and on web sites.
In my Sway you will find some hints and tips on becoming an art critic. You will then have the opportunity to study and assess several well-known paintings.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the paintings, so please come back and discuss them with me on the Blog. I will be holding an Art Appreciation discussion next week – come along and share your views!
Hello Everyone,
What a weekend we had last week! Such a lovely sun out just for us. Since it has been so beautiful and it is art week we will try a simple experiment, you might have tried it before. If not, this is a great opportunity to explore and have some fun.
So, we will be doing a magical rainbow. There are a few materials you can use so feel free to try things you might find at home.
Let’s start with the materials.
Materials
Step 1
Fold a piece of paper towel (like if it was a book). Cut the paper to be 7.5 inches or 19 cm (any longer and the rainbow may not connect fully).
Step 2
Draw rectangles of the rainbow colours on each end. Make sure you colour them really well and that they have lots of ink so it can travel easily later on.
Step 3
Place 2 cups with water filled 3/4 full. You only want the bottom of the paper towel in so, leave some space from the top of the cup.
Then place the edges in each cup, wait patiently and you will see what happens.
Step 4
Observe and wait patiently and you will see this happening. Leave it for 10 to 15 mnts. 
What do you think it is going to happen at the end?
Comments your thoughts and ideas. Send a photo to your teachers of your rainbow. 🙂
Happy Art Week!
