Tiger Tale Beginning and Middle PDF
I had a go!
Last week we tried to create a collage inspired by Henri Rousseau and the educator at the National Gallery.
Then later in the week we had a go at building a a 3D collage, a structure that stood up. This can be called sculpture.

I had a go at making some tiger sculptures.
I wonder what you might use to make a sculpture
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!

Are you up for some dancing?

Get the whole family involved, you could send in more than once clip.
It can take some time to learn how to use watercolours correctly, until I learned a little trick that can give the same effect very easily.
Follow the instructions in the sway below.
Once you have completed the activity you can use it as a back ground to stick drawings or pictures on top of. Or you could write your name, quote or phrase on top too.
Remember to share your results with your teacher through seesaw or email. Have a great time with some felt tips and water.

Look at the shapes, lines and patterns on the leaves.
Henri Rousseau surprised a lot of people when he painted a tiger in this now famous painting.
