They took it in turns to come up and collect their resources.
For the collage, I set up the art resources like a sweet shop and each child had a tiny bucket to fill. The tables were set up with oil pastels, chalk pastels, felt tips and marker pens for them to finish their original paintings in mixed media. The next art lesson, we started with the story once again and the children were embellishing the paintings that they had made and turning them into collages.
We listened to calming music and the children had a very relaxed afternoon painting, listening to the quiet music as I retold the story once again.īuy the book, which is illustrated by James Mayhew, here! I had covered the tables beforehand, but they were very neat as they were using thin brushes. They each had their own individual set of watercolours and water pots. I asked the children to trace the line of their own profile, feeling the bumps and indentations, feeling down from their forehead to the bridge of their nose, tracing the shape of their lips and chin with their fingers, once they have felt their own profile, I drew Nen’s profile on the whiteboard.
I modelled how to draw Nen in profile, like he is drawn on the front cover of the book.
I first introduced them to Nen in an art lesson, I read the story to them and I asked them to draw Nen and Ernest using drawing pencils on cartridge paper, then we painted with watercolours. What a beautiful book Nen and the Lonely Fisherman is! I have found it to be suitable for all primary age groups and I have seen some amazing work on Twitter from Year 6 children and Early Years, but my focus has been with Year 2. Today we welcome Clare Campbell, the headteacher at St Charles RC Primary School, to talk about how she has been using NEN AND THE LONELY FISHERMAN in her school!
