Here is some of Dean Buchanan’s  art work for you to think about.  You can check out more by clicking on his name and going to his website.  See if you can work out how he might have created the images - his technique.

Here is a quote from Dean Buchanan:

“If you stopped me from painting I would probably die.  It’s become that important to me  I want to fill the world with colourful images before I die.  I want to leave something, I want to leave a legacy.”

What do you think Dean Buchanan means by this?

I picked up the Ovo this afternoon.  It really is cool.

My last post was not a ‘telling off’ but rather a prompt for you to think about how we are using the blog.   Remember we learn by ‘having a go’ and then modifying what we have done for next ime.  I love your enthusiasm for writing on the blogs. 

Looking forward to catching up tomorrow!

Hi everyone

It is Sunday lunchtime and I have been bombarded over the weekend, with comments on gmail, about keeping the mice. I have ‘got the message’ and I don’t need another twenty messages to convince me!  We will have some discussion about the mice at school tomorrow. I know you are all desperate to keep some of the baby the mice, but we need to think about the responsibilities and make an informed decision.

Do you think it is appropriate to use the blogs in this way to get your point across? Has this approach worked so far?

Although the blogs are a great way to communicate with each other - remember that we have set them up with a learning purpose. That doesn’t mean you can’t chat to each other using comments, but multiple messages just clog up the system. Perhaps this is one of those learning experiences? Think about how your using the blog before you start sending multiple messages and have a look back at our learning intentions.

Thanks

Lesley
