Weaving

Room 7 have used flax, wool, material and many other different things to create wall hangings by weaving. The different colours and textures in our weavings were interesting and we all thought they were fantasic. We have each chosen to gift our artworks to someone special.

Our Special Visitor By Keri

Yesterday Robyn Belton came to Room 12. She came to talk to us about her artwork.
Robyn Belton illustrated a lot of books, like Brave Sea Dog, Duck and the Gun, and she has also illustrated the Greedy Cat Series.
Robyn Belton got to be an illustrator by drawing nearly every day and doing lots of research. She did about 100 scribbly pictures of what she was doing and then she would do the pictures. To know what to draw the author wrote at the top of the square.
It took about a year to get A Duck in a Gun published.

Robyn Belton's Visit

Oh I wish I was Robyn Belton because I LOVE drawing. Oh, did I mention Robyn is an illustrator and that is drawing? So I am going to tell you what happened. It all started at Brightwater Scool in Room 12. I was scared because I did not know what she looked like but I needed to overcome it so I went with my friends. By Harriet.
