2nd workshop

Today i had so much fun with Nishi. We planned today to make some plastersine sculptures to add to our newly made maquette. When i started making the maquette i thought it didnt look so good, in fact i thought it looked like it was dying or someone had stamped on it, but once had stepped in the room it was completely transformed into something a lot better. When Nishi entered the workshop you could see she was looking forward to todays lesson, as our maquettes were on the table for them to see as well as the different coloured plasticine, Nishi especially was looking forward to using the plasticine. We began the lesson with a circle time, where we played a quick game of imaginary ball, to challenge both the adults and our selves to remeber each other's names. I for one, have a lot of trouble at doing this task because im terrible at remembering names. We then went straight onto making our models, Nishi once again dived straight in and asked for a piece of each colour to work with. We started with making a deer, Nishi had no trouble at all with this which made me stuck with things to do. Once we did that we went onto making a santa and what we planned to do this time was use the wire so he could stand inside the maquette. She gave me a job this time to make the eyes whilst she mixed the red and white to make a pink. We then stuck the eyes on the pink face, when we then carried on by making the rest of santa. she was so brilliant at this, that it looked like the santa in the picture, as it held the same pose and how it also held a bell. I think the hardest part of the lesson was getting Nishi to stop making sculpture and pay attention to what everyone else had made. But in the end, after a quick circle time and showing what we had made, she had a good look at what everyone else had made. We gave Nishi some plasticine to take home so she could make some more wonderful sculpture and i'm really looking forward to seeing the talented Nishi next week.
