Alan Nolan at Barker & Jones

12/5/2014

 
Today we visited Barker & Jones bookshop for a workshop with the author and illustrator Alan Nolan. Alan told us about his fascination with comics when he was younger and how they inspired him and his friend to write and sell their own.

We had time to draw one of Alan's favourite characters, Ollie the dog, and we got to finish a comic that Alan had started. It was a great day and when we got back to class we raffled a copy of Alan's latest book, "Fintan's Fifteen". Guess who won? Fintan!! Weird, huh?

We've been reading this book with Mr. Harney. Tom Crean was a great Irish explorer and we're eager to read on and find out more about his story.

Yesterday we did some artwork to depict a cold, wintery scene like Tom Crean might have encountered in Antarctica.

Flight Of The BumblebeeĀ 

13/1/2013

 
"Flight of the Bumblebee" is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899–1900. (Wikipedia)
In class we listened to this wonderful piece of music, but Mr. Lane didn't tell us what it was called. We had to draw a picture to represent what we could see in our minds' eyes when we heard the music.

Afterwards, Mr. Lane told us it was called "Flight Of The Bumblebee" and we discussed how the music reflected the way a bee flies.

Finally we drew a second picture!
