Wednesday October 22nd 2014: Art Day, Black History Week

This week we have been learning about some interesting African American inventors, scientists and doctors:

Mae Jennison

Garret Morgan 

Lewis Howard Latimer

Benjamin Banneker

Today we focused on Benjamin Banneker who was an astronomer and created a working model (replica) clock - everything, including all the cogs, were made out of wood.

We drew some pictures of cogs...

Then we did some art based on the work of Paul Klee using pastels and words about Benjamin Banneker.

Here are all the sheets together...

  

Well done Class 3! Here is the finished display:

In the afternoon we made cardboard cogs and used them to do some printing...

Using these stencils everyone drew at least 20 cogs for our display using different coloured pens and then one of the cogs was used to make a print. 

Can you find your cog on the photograph below?
