Hi Everyone,
I thought I would cover an area of art that creates mystery, excitement but also plays a role in our culture and society in positive ways but also unfortunately sometimes in negative ways.
This Sway will go through the history of Graffiti and some tasks along the way including some Critical Questioning and Thinking and a chance to create your own graffiti style art piece.
Time to write the ‘Tail’ end of your story.
Did you expect that?
The mermaid and the tiger danced till dawn!
Let’s dance to celebrate your fabulous Tiger Tales!!
Every week, since schools have closed, Dundee Contemporary Arts, DCA have been sharing short films from the children’s collection for their annual Film Festivals.
I was delighted when the DCA team shared the film ‘Tiger’ last week. Perfect timing!
(Short films and animations are a type of text that we share and talk about with your children, in a similar way to picture books.)
After watching ‘Tiger’ talk about the questions below.
There are many surprises and problems; funny sound effects and a great ending to discuss. Talking about this might help you when writing your ‘Tiger Tale’
The DCA have also shared the activities they designed for schools.
Take a look! Tiger Activity Pack
I wonder what designs you have on your plates at home?
Bonjour! Hola!
Boys and Girls today you will be learning about some famous artists, a bit of their history, where they lived and their most famous pieces of art. To do that, you will see the information on the sways and you will locate every important place in relation to them on Google Earth.
You will be looking at four artists, two from Spain and two from France. They all did amazing pieces of art, some of them you can find them in museums and others you can see from high up in the sky!
Spicy: Look up for the places given in the Sways, write in your journal about the one you thought was most interesting.
Hot: Choose your favourite artist and do some research about him so you can tell us more.
Let’s begin.
Spain
-Antoni Gaudí
-Pablo Picasso
France
-Claude Monet
-Gustave Eiffel

Tiger Tale Beginning and Middle PDF
I had a go!
I hope you enjoy listening to our new ‘Tiger Tale’!
Keep smiling!
I hope that you have enjoyed your first week of Expressive Arts fortnight. Hopefully, you have all been reading J.K. Rowling’s new story – The Ickabog
I found this exercise very relaxing. My mind was busy thinking about all the different senses and the world around us, so it made it hard to think about anything else in that moment. This would also be a great strategy to use if you are feeling nervous or tense. Stop, take a few deep breaths and start to list the things you can see, taste, smell, feel and hear.
I have had some great responses from pupils already. Some excellent drawings, photographs and paintings displaying the ideas put forward in their poems.
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:
