This week in the Wonder Workshop

It has been a busy week of creativity in the Wonder Workshop.
Pupils began by creating St Patrick’s Day themed snakes. This activity encouraged pupils to explore pattern making using repetition and mark making, with lots of imaginative designs emerging.
Aifric and the pupils also had conversations around abstract shapes. Pupils looked at painted green forms and discussed what they could see in them, linking their ideas back to the theme of St Patrick’s Day.
As part of our BLAST project, pupils began the first stage of their printmaking work with artist Dee Deegan. Using printing ink and stencil card, they experimented with printing simple shapes, laying a strong foundation for the work we will continue in the coming weeks. Watch this space.
Students in Senior 2 also made use of the flower presses they built earlier this year. Using flowers from the Home Economics classroom, they carefully pressed the blooms and we look forward to seeing how they dry and how they might be used in future projects.
