Good Morning Primary 3! I have another drama lesson for you this week. It’s based on the book ‘When Pigasso met Mootise’ by Nina Laden. It is a story about friendship and touches on the different styles of art work by Picasso and Matisse.
Watch the story here and then try out some of the drama activities below. I would love to see some pictures of you taking part! Tag me on twitter @cara_aikman
Freeze Frame (remember this is a still picture – you can’t move or talk!) Pigasso painting and then the other pigs who roll in the mud. Show how different they are!
Freeze Frame Mootise Painting and then other bulls being a bull fighter. Show how different they are!
Show Pigasso and Mootisse’s angry faces when they are sick of being in a ‘tired pig pen’ and ‘sick of crowded cow town’
What would the conversation between Pigasso and Mootisse have been like when they first met? What would they talk about? Would they like each other? With the help of someone at home pretend to have this conversation between Pigasso and Mootisse (decide which character you each want to be). Remember to use your voice, whole body and facial expressions.
Show what Pigasso and Mootisse looked like when they realised they missed eachother (think about their faces,bodies and voices). What would they have said to eachother?
Pigasso and Mootise find it very funny when they see eachother’s paintings on the fence – show their reactions (think about their faces,bodies and voices)
Art Work
After you have taken part in the drama activities you could look at some of the art work of the artists and discuss. Remember there are no right or wrong answers!
Here is one of Picasso’s paintings. It is called ‘Maya with Doll’.
You could talk about
the faces on the girl and the doll
the hands on the girls and the doll
the colours you can see
the shapes you can see
anything else that you notice?
Here is a painting by Matisse. It is called ‘Woman with a hat’.
You could talk about
what do you think is on her hat?
the colours you can see
what does her face tell you about how she is feeling?

Don’t read on until you have watched the story or it might spoil the ending!!
Now try out some of these drama activities. Remember to use your voice (change this depending who are you are pretending to be ), facial expressions and your whole body (how do the different characters move?) And have fun!
You are a customer walking to the bakery to buy a doughnut.
You are Arnie – show how you were feeling when you got bought by a customer.
Act out Arnie on the bumpy car ride
Show how Arnie felt when he realised Mr Bing was going to eat him.
Pretend you are Arnie phoning the bakery to tell them the customers actually eat the doughnuts!
Pretend you are Mr Bing running after Arnie when he has thought of an idea to keep him.
Act out Arnie being Mr Bing’s ‘Doughnut Dog’
How do people in the street react when the see the ‘Doughnut Dog’? Act this out! What do they say and do?
I would love to see some pictures of you taking part in this week’s drama. Tag me on twitter @cara_aikman. (Remember not to share your child’s name).
Primary 6 teachers will allocate activities on Education City to allow children to continue with their learning whilst at home during the winter weather.
Children are also encouraged to take the opportunity to use the time to read their personal novels as part of our First Minister’s Reading Challenge and be prepared to share what they have read on our return to class.
Please check back for further updates which will also be shared via Twitter and Class Dojo.
