Abi I learnt how to mix colours to make other colours. I liked drawing our pictures on the jigsaw and I really liked mixing colours. When I did something wrong I got really angry but then I worked hard to sort it out. When I had finished it I was proud of my piece.
Alex I liked it when I finished my art work. I also liked it when Catherine showed us some pictures by artists that were very good. Their pictures feel like magic. My favourite picture was the swimming one by an artist called Hockney. Art calms me down..
Betul At the beginning I was very excited and I was very proud of what I did with my art project. It is a really nice thing to me to be invited to do the art project. This is my first time my picture is on my own page on a website. How about I tell you a joke:
Q Why did the banana go to see the doctor?
A Because he wasn't peeling well!
Billy I learnt how to mix colours and how to paint better. I got to write on the computer what we had learnt. I got to do a painting on a big panel.
Farhaana I thought that the Finsbury Five School Jigsaw Project was really fun. At first the theme of movement seemed quite hard because I don't normally draw people moving, but I think that my finished jigsaw piece actually came out quite well. I would love to do it again and I can't wait to see the finished jigsaw. I will put my Artyface certificate in my folder at home with all my special certificates in it: I also have my certificate from last years jigsaw project in there.
Danny At the start of the project we drew a rough copy of our jigsaw on tracing paper. Then we started on our painting on the wooden jigsaw pieces. After I had finished the project I was very happy with my finished work because all our pictures are to do with the Olympic Games and I like sport.
Georgie At the beginning I was amazed that I got in because I thought most of my class's pictures were better than mine. I thought the project was good. I was messing around a bit.
Hasan At the start of the project we drew a picture and then we sent it to Prior Weston and then Maud and Catherine chose the pictures they would like to see painted. Then we went to Prior Weston and we made a jigsaw puzzle. We even had a go on the computer.
Imad My jigsaw picture was about running and I mixed colours to make my paints. I used the three primary colours to make the colours. I drew 3 different poses. 1st is the runner getting ready, 2nd was the runner taking off and the 3rd was the runner celebrating. I had a great time.
Lois I drew a picture of a ballerina because the model was in a ballet position. I am pleased with my final picture and I would recomend you have a go. I will show my web page to my aunt, uncle and cousins in Leeds. I will email the link to the web site and my page. The first thing they will say will probably be 'Ooh hasn't Lois grown!'
Jassiem This picture shows me, Jassiem, and my jigsaw painting of sporty bodies. It shows different people doing sport. I enjoyed it and I hope everybody else who went liked it too.
Katie I had fun painting. I love art because it calms me down and it feels like magic. When I touch the paper with the paint it just feels like I am letting all my feelings go out of me. I also met lots of people today, nearly everybody. I had fun with everyone taking photos, going on the computer and mixing colours.
Letitia I had a wonderful time. I learned a lot about colours and shapes and shading and mixing. First of all we had to draw our design on a piece of paper and trace a jigsaw. I can't even explain it because it was so exciting. I can't wait to be invited to something similar to this project.
Linnea On the first day I came here it wasn't very exciting. Actually it was very tiring because I had to select the pictures that I wanted to put into my jigsaw peice. Then I had to trace them onto tracing paper. When I finished that I had to trace them again on the other side of the paper, to do that I had to take it to the window and hold it up for about 10 minutes with one arm and use my other arm to draw: it really hurt. After that I then had to trace it again pushing really hard on the pencil to get a fairly faint copy on the jigsaw piece. Because that took so long I only had time to start painting one figure, then we had to go. When we came today we were under more pressure to finish. I did a plain background then put red swirls onto it. I had to paint over them but it turned out that I can still see them faintly.
India It was a great experience and I loved it it was very fun and I'd never done something like that before.I had tried to get into the jigsaw project the last time they had done it. I learned how to mix a lot more colours than I knew before.
Rebecca I really enjoyed doing this art project. It was about the Olympics and we did a piece of jigsaw each! And then as if that wasn't hard we had to do a background. I got a bit angry since it wasn't right but in the end it was EXCELLENT! And I loved it.
