Last night I done a stick and ink workshop with the kids @halewood arts. I firstly began by explaining about how we use different types of paper for different types of media. We then decided we would go out into the natural enviroment and find our own material to draw with ‘sticks’. I explained to the children that if they picked three different size sticks; each stick would give them a different mark and width of line.
I had printed some of my line drawings off from the computer so the children could use them as a guide so they could get used to drawing with the ink, they also used a lightbox which they really enjoyed. Some of them also used the natural light source by taping the drawings up onto the windows; this then also made the ink drip which the children worried about. There fore i explained to them that this would give some character to there drawings and make it unique to them. Artwork does not need to be confined and Neat. I wanted the children to experiment and be impulsive about there work and this is what they done. The finished pieces were excellent and we thankfully didnt make too much of a MESS!
Only ‘Yoking’
Today the children made some Easter eggs and Easter Baskets. The eggs were boiled and dyed with ‘Natural’ colouring agents including, vinegar, red onion, turmeric and ‘natural’ food colourings. They stuck a variety of materials to the eggs as a stencil such as stickers, elastic bands, ribbon, lace and lots more. The end results ‘Eggstrvigant’. They also learned in the process which dye worked the best and we also learned the difference between free range and caged hens.
Tonight the kids @halewoodsarts are doing a bit of everything and anything. Tonight is a chill out night were the kids can do whatever they like. The boys have decided to make some quirky aeroplanes and the girls some interesting horses and cats. They have decided to experiment with materials and objects and have come up with some great ideas as usual.

Working on some illustrations for ‘the house that jack built’ I’m almost finished which is a little early so I’m going to be doing an extra illustration which will be of ‘the house’ that jack built. Hmmmm I’m wondering where to begin; I suppose some research on architecture would be a good start
