After we had all introduced ourselves and Leslie had explained some activities, I chose to make collages using brown, white and black paper, with added touches of red. I started with 14cm squares. I had decided I would work with squares because when I was at C2C last year I used circles.
I tried them in a long line and then decided to make 3 more to make a square.
I tried out different layouts.
Then I photocopied the squares 141% bigger. The problem with that was 141% makes rectangles rather than bigger squares!
I had glued the black & white squares to a backing paper and then I cut it up. You know I love cutting up stuff. I tried out the strips in different layouts.
I added small amounts of red to make it more interesting.
I joined all the strips together and was hoping to be able to have a curly book.
The paper didn't really want to curl so I went back to my preferred zigzag.
I pinned it to the wall
Then (you know me!) I cut up the long strip into 3 strips.
I don't know what I shall do with this - if anything! But I know from last year's play that what you see above may well inform something I make later this year although it won't be a replication.
That was just day 1. There's so much more to come. See you back here.
Thanks for joining me today.
