Let's hear from the young people on how the project went and what outcomes they achieved...............
How:
- We visited the Butterfly House at Williamsons Park in Lancaster (prior to Covid-19 restrictions) to photograph insects.
- We watched programs and researched species using the internet.
- We researched Greek Art and Culture. We created a A2 paper mosaic.
- We drew our chosen insect on MDF and created our insect design using tiles and finally grouted using tile adhesive and mosaic tools.
Outcomes Achieved:
- To be able to record observations and use these to inform work.
- To be able to research the work of Greek Mosaic artists and the period mosaics were made.
- To be able to use and cut glass tiles to make your mosaic design.
- To be able to complete a mosaic by grouting.
Well done KS3, these are fantastic and are being displayed on the exterior walls of the school for all to see.
