Biography of an Artist – Spicy/Hot

Today you are going to be learning about some of the features of a biography before planning and writing your own.

I have suggested that you base your biography on an artist but, as our theme this fortnight is Expressive Arts, please feel free to choose an artist, sculptor, architect, musician, dancer or actor as your subject.

The Sway below contains all the information required for you to create your biography.

Don’t forget to set your work out neatly, taking a new paragraph every time there is a change of subject.  Please share your completed biography with your teacher, and don’t forget to come back on the Blog to let me know how you got on.   😊

Health and Wellbeing – Methlick’s Virtual Gallery – Week 1 – Hot

Good morning everyone!

Let’s take a virtual tour of Aberdeen Art Gallery – https://bit.ly/2AR37X5

With a duration of 2h30 minutes, we highly recommend that you view the tour throughout the week. If you prefer, focus on a specific gallery (Sculpture Court, Collecting Art etc).

Throughout week 1, we are going to  focus on identifying our favourite piece of art within the gallery, sharing our thoughts/opinions and researching the artist.

Click on the Sway below to see everything you will need to complete this activity. An example has also been provided. Good luck and remember to share your work with your class teacher.

I have been reading ‘The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse’ by Charlie Mackesy.

Your questions to answer this week:

  • Select one or two main characters from your book. If you could ask them three questions to learn more about them, what would they be? Write down your questions and try to answer them as if you were that character.
