On Friday Crew MI and Crew Boswell started their next art slice 🙂 Our entry ticket allowed us to discuss our existing knowledge on mosaic, discussing when we have used mosaic before and what we did. We then looked at a range of different mosaics where we thought about what we could see and the patterns. We thought about how the mosaic had been created, the materials used and which ones we liked the most and why. Then we gave some of our own critique giving praises, notices and wonders for the different pieces. Next we were introduced to the artist we would study through this art slice- Antoni Gaudi. We watched different clips to build background knowledge then worked in mini crews to discuss and note down what we had learnt from the video. We created a whole class anchor chart using the facts we had learnt. From here we explored some of Gaudi’s work and where we can find it. We looked at the Sagrada Familia, learning that it is still to be finished! We discussed the following questions when exploring some of Gaudi’s work… What can you see? How does it make you feel? What techniques have been used? What was Gaudi trying to express? Our exit ticket allowed us all to voice 1 fact about Gaudi in our mini crew. We then shared this with someone from another mini crew then someone else in the room.
