DACA: Day Five

Coming towards the end of the placement now and i feel like the is most defiantly the career path I want to take with my life. This morning I have year 10 art again so I think I'll be one on one with Sophie again and this afternoon I have a year 7 textiles class. I'm looking forward to seeing what Miss Coffee actually teaches in textiles as from talking to other students they don't learn many practical techniques.

The first half of the day was the same as last week nothing to report just helped Sophie with her work and sketchbook and the teach was there to get their work out an then left.

Afternoon Lessons

I went into the year 7 textiles class which was a turn over lesson. Louise Klink told me that the art department works where each year the Arts as a whole works on one topic this year being environment. However I feel there needs to be more communication as in the textiles class we made sock monsters, Miss Coffee told me this is something she does every year and so clearly doesn't run with the theme for the whole art department.

Although this afternoon was extremely enjoyable I do feel there is a lack of textiles as the children arn't learning anything new they were picking decorations and gluing them on. Very few could thread a needle ad I found myself doing it for them.
