Shoe pictures.

Here are some pictures on the work i have been doing to my shoe, i used a template of a shoe and over cling film spread some mod roc around it, i left a gap in the centre of the shoe template so after its dried i can remove the two parts of the shoe, then work on getting it back together. After that i put both parts together forming mod rock around it till it was the full shape of a shoe, then i began working on my heel. For the heel i decided to use clay and get two strips &tangle them together to get a twisted affect because i thought it was different and it looks nice. :)

Tuesday 7th December 2010

On Tuesday 30th of November we all went to Browick infant school to send a message across to donate to charity and its importance, but also to do workshops with the year 2 students and show our performances. Both performances included donating in some way, for example the first showed a woman donating to charity, then from that help, a boy was saved. Then the other one shows us a boy with lots of old toys which he doesn’t play with anymore decide to instead of throwing them in the rubbish, actually donate them to a charity shop where boys &girls can use them for fun. This is a good example for them to follow.
           Another activity we did with the kids was a workshop in small groups, the year 10’s took an amount of kids and taught them in fun ways to share and to teach them of the importance of charity in a way they will remember.
           Unfortunately we did not receive any donations, but we will continue to advertise, spread the message around. We would have thought this might have been as result to being almost Christmas, and families don’t have the time to search thought their belongings, but we are hoping after Christmas, when all the children get their new clothes and toys that we should get some donations in!

From what i've heard the visit wasnt overlly sucessfull due to absences & that the children didnt donate anything. But was sucessfull in passing the message and i hope they learnt something from it.

LO.2 Tuesday 23rd November♥

Today In art with Miss Pinnington, we started to make our shoe, we used template molds to wrap cling film around them, then we had the choice whether to use paper mache, mod roc, clay or others, to start making the shoe shape. I used Mod roc and have now covered most of the mold with it then next lesson I'm able to slip the mold out of it and have the base of my shoe. I found this pretty easy to do, next lesson I've decided to build up more mod roc over to make the surface thicker and i will create my heel using clay, i have also decided that I'm not going to make a high-heeled hi-top because it will be too challenging for my stage of work, so I'm just going to create a high heeled shoe with lots of colour, possible gems&jewellery to represent 'Hemstocks' the shop we are going to display our shoe in. I think i'm doing well in art so far, i dont seem to be struggling with anything & we have just handed in our sketch books which contain mostly all the work we have done so far, includes all our sketches,planning&research.
Miss Pinnington has marked some of my work already and i would say most of the comments are possitive but a few things i need to improve on.


For campaign I have also created a poster for Staff&Children in the school to encourage them to donate any clothes, items, toys to our group in the drama studio on Tuesday lunchtimes,we have decided to use the lunchtimes on tuesdays to collect donations because its the day we spend here in wymondham high&it will be easy to collect them from there and easy for everyone else to acess. We are going to put the posters around the school, and send any donations to the charity shop we are working with, but not forgetting to check for any possible rubbish or bad conditioned clothing.
