Reggio Discussions, our work of art

We talked about what a work of art was and how we could turn our cathedral into a work of art

Question: What is a work of art? – the children wonder on this question

Alara:  It’s amazing

Rania: Made by hand

Josh: It’s really artistic

Travis: It’s fancy

Emily T: Something remembered forever

Josh: It is the use of different things, like materials

Zane: It means something, it has a reason for what it is

Natasha: something that has a lot of thought put into it.

Emily T: It is something people can be proud of.

Alex: It takes time to make.

Grace: Something that is shown around the world as a memory.

Emily T: It could be a treasure or something special.

Molly: You need to take the time to make it look real.

Alara: We would put some real things into our cathedral like clay.

Zane: We could make a bottle wall, they do that on grand designs

Alara: On grand designs they use polystyrene to make it strong.

Josh: We need to use the correct colours.

Emily T: We could have a picture of the old cathedral around the walls.

Natasha: We could use pirctures of the old cathedral on the stained glass windows. We could include parts of Christchurch in our design.
