Collaborative Collage

Pelham School After School Club, Nov 28th

We drew together all the work we have done on the Willow tree so far and begun a group collage piece.

Working as a group

Experimenting with layers

We worked in 4 groups to collage photocopies of our drawings and clay work along with magazine cuttings and mixed papers.

Choosing textures and colours

Various ways to show tree bark

We drew into the photocopies using pencil and pastel

Mixing media

We all worked with each others work.

We looked at how a piece of art could say something powerfull by cutting up texts that had been written about our much loved willow tree. We saw that there were reasons for ad against the decision  to cut it down.

Cuttings from the planning application

The School Newsletter

We recorded our memories of the tree and added them to the mix

So many memories

We joined the 4 sections together to make one large piece in the shape of the Willow Tree.

Four sections make a whole, we all took part.

Talking about how to progress

Watch out next week for the finished work.
