Support resource - story notes

Finish watching the tutorial explaining the story map. then complete step 2.

Step 2:

Green chilli: re-read copies of Chapter 16 and create a story mountain showing its structure. Write on you story copies, identifying which bit is which part of the mountain – you may wish to use highlighter pens for this.

Orange chilli: as green chilli and write a caption for each character within each of the four story sections (e.g. Mr Stink – excited/Mother – worried). On the Story Mountain Structure They could write each character in a different colour.

Art Project

ENVIRONMENTAL ART - NATURAL RESOURCES

As explained on Monday, we are going to continue researching and experimenting with different types of geometric art. Today we will be looking more closely at environmental art which is a kind of sculpture (so you may have incorporated it yesterday!) but we felt definitely needed its own day for research and experimentation!

Task 1: On an A4 piece of paper/ document on your computer (your choice!) create a mood/ ideas board with images and information about environmental art that has elements of geometry within it. You could include some of your favourite designs, the names of any famous environmental artists, details about what natural materials are used, and anything else you discover that you’d like to add! See my attached example ‘Environmental Art Mood/ Ideas Board’.

Task 2: Use your research to create your own geometric environmental art. You could use leaves, twigs, shells, acorns, conkers, bark, stones, ice or snow (if we get any more!) and anything else you can think of! It’s a great opportunity to get out and about if you are able to and collect some resources. Remember your piece of art could be tiny, medium or big, as long as it includes some geometry or repeating patterns, and this isn’t your final project so you don’t need to spend ages (unless you want to!) – it’s just a chance to try it out.
