Final Ideas

12/07/2016

Today, Me and Maisie finalised ideas completely and posted them on the community, ready for them to be posted on the community. After the feedback from the art director, we cut down on ideas and came to two final ones that would be suitable for the more sensory students and higher ability students.

The two final ideas are:

• Drawing with the Body
• Throwing Paint

Quoted from proposal:

Drawing with the body -
Before seeing them, we would prepare water balloons that are filled with paint and bring them to the school. We would then lay paper on the ground in the garden space- which some students might enjoy to help us with- and then we give the balloons to the students and they throw them at the paper. The balloons would pop when they hit the paper and the paint will splash out making a mark (since it is filled with a liquid substance, the balloon will not make a loud noise, but if you are concerned we are happy to test out the volume of the pop). We then thought again that maybe we could edit the image a little afterwards and take some of the paint splatters and turn them into little people or animals etc.

Throwing Paint - 

Drawing with the body would consist with a variety of different activities, like dipping hands and feet in paint and then running over paper and making marks on it, or tapping pencils or crayons to their elbows or feet (or just anywhere really), and then the students making marks using body parts other than just their hands. They could also draw around some of their legs or arms, or maybe even the whole person to create negative silhouettes.

We also included the materials needed and since the school is quite equipped already we didn't have to include pricing.

Materials

As for materials, we will need paint and crayons and huge sheets of paper:

Paint

• 2 bottles of each colour
• Red
• Green
• Blue
• Yellow

Crayons

• Red
• Blue
• Yellow
• Green

We chose to use 2 bottles of each colour for the class as me and maisie are going to split the class into two groups, so a bottle for each colour in each group. The activities are going to get quite messy so hopefully the paint is enough, even if so, the school said they are more than happy to get more materials for us.

So this is the plan for our workshops with materials included. Our workshop is on Friday (15/07/2016) and we will be arriving at the school at 8:45am to give us enough time to prepare for the session.
