Window Screens

At certain times of the year the sunshine pours in through our  classroom windows, making it hard to see our interactive whiteboard.
We used to put up black paper, 
but now we have some beautiful window screens made in art with Mrs. W.




After planning the designs, we used permanent waterproof markers to make the designs on the plastic sheets (we used big rubbish bags!)

To be successful we had to:
  • include flowers in our design (this term's art focus)
  • fill up all the sheets 
  • use some solid shapes
  • vary the thickness of the lines
  • vary the sizes and shapes
  • repeat shapes


Our design incorporates our school PB4L values, which are taken from our school name:
(Reefton Area School)

Respect
Aspire
Self-manage


We also had to use our Key Competency of 
Relating to Others 
by taking turns and sharing the markers.




Is your school a PB4L school?
What are your school values?

B4 - what did you most enjoy about making the screens?
