Year 4 were shown a video of the artist Ilana Yahav who creates wonderful pictures using light shining through sand which she models using controlled movements with her hands. Here is a link to the website: http://www.sandfantasy.com
After seeing the video we collected some sand from the school playground and experimented to see what could be done with our school sand on flat coloured surfaces. We took photos of our creations and then applied contrast to the pictures using the art room computers to simulate the effects of the light box used by Ilana Yahav. |
