Primary 6 – Book Week Scotland

Primary 6 have been following Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ for their Literacy study this term.

What were we learning?

To create a new costume design for Count Olaf from ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’.

How would we know if we were successful?

  • We would be able to create a sketch of our costume design.
  • We would be able to think about what props/accessories/facial prosthesis we might need.
  • We would be able to create a mask to show what his face might look like.

What did we do?

  • We watched a clip containing all of Count Olaf’s disguises across the series.
  • We drew our own costume sketch using a croquis template.
  • We considered what props/accessories we might need.
  • We used papier machĂ© to create our masks and add any facial extras (e.g. eyebrows, moustaches, warts).

We are now ready to paint our masks. Then, we will start to consider how this disguise might fit into a new ‘unfortunate event’. Next week, we will record our ideas using a storyboard!

Until next time…
Primary 6 & Miss M đŸ™‚
