Starting Your Journal
Most of you will already have read this previously in an email. Other people joined us later and I have copied the initial instructions here, so it is all together in one format.
- Find a notebook/ sketch book/ journal to collect all work in over this period.
- I'll send a task out every day. Complete the task to your highest standard. Any artistic additions of your choice are encouraged.
- when we are back together, I will organise a sharing/ exhibition space, so our work is meaningful and valued.
- The book will also be a great record for the isolation period, think how you would feel if you could read your Grandpa's diary from the war today.
There will be two components: the first is an artistic activity which is very broad and easy accessible. The second one is a writing component. Many children will love this, others are very reluctant writers. If your child is a reluctant writer, they could tell you their ideas and you could write it down. Or maybe they can do one sentence. This is not a time to hammer down on spelling (although capitals and full stops should be there!), writing is foremost a way to collect our thoughts and bring some calm in the whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.
If your child has any questions or just wants to have a chat, they can zoom me between 4 and 5 every day. I should be out of pyjamas by then.
Extra bonus: no-one will be able to 'borrow' your pencils and forget to give them back.
Ready? Here's Day 1:
Remember how we drew all these maps in Class? Your first task is to draw a map of your house. First make a rough sketch, measuring out rooms with your steps, so the proportions are more or less right. Make your good copy in your book, labeling all rooms. Now colour in the rooms with the colour that feels right for you. For example, my bedroom has a very different 'feeling colour' than my living room.No right or wrong here, just you. Make it beautiful, remember how maps should look like an invitation to go there. When I see your map once we are back in class, it should be mouthwatering and delicious. Don't forget the garden of course!
In your writing, describe why you are at home in lock-down right now. What does it mean? Remember the reader, your grandchild might be reading this, so you need to write to someone who has no idea what is happening. Finish your writing with a feeling- always the best way to leave your reader. Ask me if you get stuck!
Finally, a little video for inspiration to keep playing your instrument:
