Art

Over the last 2 weeks we have been engaged and highly motivated in our art lessons. Last week we finished our split faced self-portraits which explores the proportions of our faces. 

This week we made Guatemalan worry dolls. We were inspired by the story Silly Billy. According to some traditions, when children are scared, brooding (worrying) or have nightmares, parents give them worry dolls before they go to sleep. They would tell their doll about their sorrows, fears and worries. The children then put the dolls under their pillow at night and when they wake up, their worries or concerns are gone!
