What does magic look like?

We began today by discussing our project for the week. We are going to create images and poems based on magic and the use of imagery. We began by listening to some music from Harry Potter. The children listened carefully and we discussed colours and images that they saw when closing their eyes. 

We then researched images that represented magic. We found some of the following...

We then decided to play with painting techniques to see how we could create our effects. The children picked out key features such as dark backgrounds, colours of a limited palette and textured surfaces. We tried our best to experiment with techniques. Well done Class 9. You tried so hard.
