Opie Poses in felt

Today, Year 4 worked with the resident artist, Ian Whitmore, for a workshop around the Take One Picture painting we have been looking closely at over the last couple of months. They studied the painting and poses within it. They then created some amazing outline drawings and felt representations of other various poses chosen by the children themselves. The children looked at the work of contemporary artist: Julian Opie. They created their own poses on paper which was then copied onto felt. They cut out their felt silhouettes. These will then be added to, to create an Opie style collection of posed figures which will then be displayed on colourful felt backgrounds.
