Workshop 1: ARGENTINA. PENGUINS.

The first day at Addington we explained the play, the story & characters of 'After The Storm'.

We told them what we needed to accomplish during the workshops. We then got the Addington students to write down 5 of their interests or personality traits. This was so that we could then create clay penguins that looked colourful & funky that represented themselves. We gave them a variety of coloured clay to do this with.

After they had finished the penguins we went around and asked why they made their penguins like they did, and how it represented them. They did this very well & said they enjoyed it.

Secondly we did printing onto paper using inks, this was for the background to make it look abstract. We showed them some examples of what we wanted, which was swirls, mountains etc. We got them to role out ink on the table and draw a design onto the ink, then place the paper on top which transferred onto it, or they could put the paper on top of the ink then draw onto the paper, which made the ink a clear line transfer.

We then gave them lots of materials and got them to make mountains, trees, clouds, rocks etc, which was also for the background.
