ARCIMBOLDO

Today we learnt all about the Italian artist, Arcimboldo. He was famous for painting portraits using fruits, veg and natural resources to create faces. We played an Arcimboldo themed runner bean game where we tried to act out different vegetable. We also used fruit to print faces as well as drawing our friends in the style of Arcimboldo. 🍏🍌🍉🍇🍓🍋🌽🥕🍅🍆🌶

JO WOOD
20/01/18
As part of our artist month, we were very lucky to have Jo Wood, a local artist come in. Jo’s inspiration comes from the beach and sea as you can see from her incredible work.
Jo spoke to us about her life as an artist, her jobs, showed us sketches, some objects that have inspired her, some paintings, some silk scarves she created and even a piece of driftwood that she turned into a fish.
Jo is very passionate about beach cleans and about the importance of recycling plastics as they have detrimental affects on the beach/ocean and it’s creatures. Jo created the fish from driftwood and plastic objects that have been found at the beach and although it looks pretty, plastics have to be recycled instead of been dumped at the beach.
Thank you so much Jo for taking the time to come and speak to us. We think you are very talented and are looking forward to seeing you at Fusion again soon. ♻🎨🌊🏖🐠🌎
GLYNN
26/01/18
We had the wonderful Glyn from Fantastic Faces visit to speak to us today, to end our topic of artists. Firstly she came to speak to us about the wonderful charity she volunteers at called Supershoes. Supershoes empowers children fighting cancer in the UK, enhancing physical & emotional wellbeing while raising awareness along the way. The children give the artists a brief and the artists design a pair of converse for them.
Have a look at the ones Glyn has done- amazing!
We are hoping to fundraise soon for this charity so we can put some smiles on children’s faces.
Glyn also spoke about being an artists and how to facepaint, she gave lots of demonstrations (lucky children) and told us what to expect from a face painter, what to look for in their kit and how to safely remove the face paint.
Thank you so much for giving up your time and coming in Glyn, we are very lucky!
Have a look at Glyn’s website: she gets booked up as she is so talented so if you want to use her for an event/party, then plan ahead!
