that black and white photo is a shadow against a play surface in the playground. We looked at your site and then tried to find things/images around the school that gave us more ideas about layered transparencies in real life. The children could see the shadow the branches/flowers (fake flowers) were casting and it changed the way the sand on the planks looked in shadow and light. Also, when they passed their hands along in the mid-range, they saw the branches cast the shadow on their hands as well as on the planks. I think it always helps to have some hands-on experience to bring a new sense of purpose.
I love how these look - a must do project for my classroom!
ReplyDeleteLOVE.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful the kids get an exhibition and a chance to see their work beautifully displayed. I'm happy to be the inspiration for children's art.
ReplyDeleteP.S. What's in the black and white photo over Studies?
