We're probably all racing towards Christmas now, aren't we? Many of the mini projects I've been working on with students are now coming to an end and my small room is now as busy as Santa's workroom as we try and get all the wonderful drawings, photographs and collages into semblances of finished pieces of art. Most students are not used to working collaboratively (this is not unusual), so it's exciting for them to see their individual contributions coming together to produce something far more accomplished than they could have achieved on their own. This is one of the many great experiences that the students gain from the Residency. I'm particularly proud of a small group of four Year 8 students who have worked towards their own Tree of Life using prints from found objects and foliage from around the school.
Not quite finished but already looking fantastic.
