Artist for a Day- 5th Class

20/10/2014

Comments

 

On Friday the 3rd of October, the four 5th classes were extremely lucky to be given the chance to partake in the Artist for a Day programme, funded by both the PTA and the Kildare Co. Council Arts Service. Liz Smith, a very talented artist, taught us how to create zoetropes. A zoetrope is a mechanical toy with a slotted drum, that when twirled makes objects withing the drum give the illusion of continuous motion.

We had great fun creating these zeotropes. First we cut out small rectangles on black card and taped the card to a paper plate. We stuck a marble to the base of the paper plate, which allows it to spin. We then coloured in pictures on the inside. We could choose between a figure skipping, or a more Halloween themed bat flying. They were so fun and easy to make.

Have a look at the videos and pictures below.

Thanks to Mrs. Ryan for organising this fun filled morning and thanks again to Liz, the PTA and the Kildare Co Council Arts Service.

Olaf Popczyk, Sam Dunne and Jack Kennedy (Room 12- Ms Phelan)
