Colour My World

A pleasure to work with a group of young women at St Mary's today. Part of a school holiday G & T programme (partly school promotion - why not?!) The learning intention: "To use use visual images, music & expressive language to convey a message within the colour theme." Our tools ArtRage & PhotoStory; our resource flickr (creative commons) and some quick learning bright young minds).
It did take me twice as long to set up as i spent with the girls (setting up users on the network & SZ and loading software etc) but well worth it.
Their work is hosted on Vimeo but you can check it out below too. I know you girls are all reading this blog post as we didn't have time to watch everybody's work so well done you did a great job today :-) Feel free to leave a comment where it says comments.

"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who thanks to their art and their intelligence transform a yellow spot into the sun " Pablo Picasso

The history of colour is a fabulous exploration for students of all ability Rachel - I have much enjoyed exploring quotes like
"Ultramarine blue is a color illustrious, beautiful, and most perfect, beyond all other colors; one could not say anything about it, or do anything with it, that its quality would not still surpass…”
The Craftsman's Handbook by Cennino Cennini
and
"Yellow paint said to have been made from the urine of Indian cows force-fed with Mango leaves"
in Colour by Victoria Finlay with students and undermining their sense of what colour might be

Thanks for sharing what your students have created as performance for understanding through ICT
