We started our lesson today with a knowledge recall on our new artist Antoni Gaudi. We then had another look at Gaudi’s work, thinking about the art technique that had been used. We compared two different pieces and thought about similarities and differences. We also offered some critique with praises, notices and wonders. We then looked at the different techniques needed in mosaic- the direct and indirect methods. We watched a clip to see this in action then we had a practice ourselves using Gaudi’s work as a stimulus. We recreated the piece of art work using the methods we had observed in the clip. We then evaluated the process thinking about which techniques were reasonably straightforward to use and which were more difficult. Our gallery walk allowed us to observe everyone’s work and offer some critique to a peer.
