This week was the Grade 2 performance, inspired by and named after Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. The children have worked hard writing their lines, learning a poem and a song, not to mention all the transitions they had to remember. They were fantastic and should be very proud of themselves. Shape Explorations
Sorting ImagesThe children have been looking at various images ranging from video footage of Iceland's landscape, art by Escher, World Wildlife Fund campaign photography and national flags. They identified images that they knew and have begun sketching in their image log-books.
They also began sorting images by their purpose, using to Persuade, to Inform and to Provoke to guide their thinking. The discussions have been rich and the children realised that many images can have different layers of purpose. They identified logos as an example, explaining that they can provoke a feeling (hunger/thirst), inform you where you can get the food/drink and ultimately persuade you to go and buy from that place. We will continue to explore different images, evaluating their purpose, how effective they are at achieving this and our own responses to them.
