Twists and Turns

Artist Louise Pasquill and assistant Susie Aylett, led a lesson to create an animated drawing.

The children came up with a story, a setting and three characters.  They set to work building them from a wide selection of beautiful papers, cards and metallic pencils and pens.

We took inspiration from imagining which animals we would like as a pet; and spending time with our families and friends.

The experimented to see how the characters would interact, once they are attached.

They were on the ground, on a swing, up a tree or in the sky!

Some of the clouds could blow in the wind, others stayed static.

This rabbit can hide inside it’s box.

The children used collage to assemble their creations.  Cutting, drawing, sticking and colouring.  Finally the spit-pins were attached and the characters were able to twist and turn on the page.

Here is a tree with a slug, a snail and a caterpillar all living inside!
