Amy I have drawn a tree with a gate, buildings and flowers. I drew it because I think trees and flowers are beautiful. things. The thing that I like the most in my picture are the buildings in the background. I liked drawing on the jigsaw piece. I learnt how to mix colours and how to use a paint brush properly. I also learnt how to scratch my work with the back of my paintbrush. I most enjoyed mixing colours and drawing the picture. I liked to take photographs and put them on the computer for up loading to the website later.
Dilan This is a wooden carved post built by a friend called Andy (He also taught us how to make a sunflower out of bamboo) We chose a piece of sculpture in our ecology garden and it was the only piece I could see clearly. It’s a great feeling to know that you’ve been selected for a brilliant thing. It feels weird to be drawing on pieces of wood when you’ve got used to paper. My favourite artist is Seurat. My favourite type of drawing is with dots and big, bright colour. I love art and have been into it since I was little. Art makes me feel alive when I'm making or painting something alone. Silence makes me feel lonely so I play some music for myself. When I draw out of my imagination I don't usually know what I'm doing so I sometimes get my sister to help and she's good at art as well.
Desea I have drawn a variety of different shapes of buildings all close together with shadings. I drew it because I liked the shading that the sun was making and the effects that the buildings had. I felt scared and shy about coming to the project on the first day but I got used to the environment and felt OK. I feel excellent about the jigsaw pieces. Now that I have finished my picture it fits perfectly well with the jigsaw piece and everything looks wonderful. Maud is very impressed with it so am I. I enjoyed working here with these people they are wonderful and I am hoping I will see them again.
Billy I drew a roof with posts holding it up. I drew it because it its complicated. It was fun today. The jigsaw will look like one big garden and it will look nice and have a lot of colour in it. I painted the grass dark green. The red is part of the classroom.
Anil I have drawn a picture of my school’s office. I drew it because I had a good view from it. Doing this project is fun and exciting because I drew pictures and met new people. I think the project was a good idea and I think the jigsaw will look beautiful at the end.
Khaled I have drawn a building and a big roof that has houses behind it. I drew it because it is really nice and because it has bricks. I think the jigsaw pieces are really good because they make you want to know what it is.
John I have drawn a flower pot. It is fun and exciting coming to the project today, I never thought it would be like this. I think the jigsaw pieces will be fun for drawing my picture. I have never done anything on wood before.
JJ My picture is about a building and a school fence. I have enjoyed everything that what we have learnt. When I first saw the web page I was amazed because I was on the Internet for once. My mum went on the web page and printed my picture.
Juan My picture is about a garden. I like the tail of the fence. I like the shape of window. I enjoy coming here because I like drawing with professional artists.
Kevin My picture is about a monument in a graveyard near our school. I drew this picture because it was the most simple thing in the graveyard I found it difficult to get the same colour after I have ran out of that colour. I found it easy to copy and draw the picture on to the piece of puzzle that we were given.
Linda My drawing is a graveyard and I drew a grave with a fence. I liked putting my picture onto a puzzle. I learnt how to mix colours properly, I used yellow and blue to make green. I also learnt how to scratch through paint with the back of the paint brush. I enjoyed painting and mixing. I don't know how I feel about it. I enjoyed going on the computer.
Kristian I have drawn my classroom. I haven’t done anything on wood before. I've learnt that art is very difficult to do and it takes a lot of time to get it perfect. I think this project is very exciting because I learnt a lot about art.
Louisa This picture is from my school ecology garden. It shows pieces of wood that are connected with lots of texture on them. I like this after school club because you get to meet other people from other schools. We got to paint on a wooden jigsaw piece, that's what I liked most!
