Weeks Review

This week we finished Goldilocks and the three bears and started creating Jack and the beanstalk. In the first lesson we created the inside of the three bears house. We started by creating the 3 chairs which Goldilocks breaks in the story. We created these chairs using our bodies, by kneeling down on one knee and raising the other. We used the light to create the illusion of bigger or smaller chairs. The closer they knelt to the light the bigger they looked, the further away from the light the smaller the chairs looked. Goldilocks was then able to sit on each chair until we reached the small chair in which both goldilocks and the chair would fall to the floor, making it look like the chair had broken.

We then went on to create the table which had the 3 porridges on. By doing this we first created a table using two people, who would bend down (heads facing one another) with a flat back. We decided to cut out the shape of 3 porridges, all declining in height, the people who make up the table will hold these pieces of paper.

Finally we created the beds. This was a matter of trial and error, we used multiple people to create each bed, combining bodies to build up each shape. Goldilocks is able to lay across, leaning on one person, creating the illusion that she is on the bed.

After finishing Goldilocks, we started to create Jack and the beanstalk. We started by writing a series of scripts for separate scenes of the play. Next lesson we will start to create it.
