Sorry Higher Photography lot! Going to be off today too. ☹️ We’ll start again next week. Please research your topic, collect as much info as possible and try to write a draft of your brief. Many apologies again.

To my Higher Photography class - I will not be in today, still not feeling well. Please work on your topic research and write ups for your briefs, we will now be going out on Friday, so bring your cameras in then if you wish. Sorry for the inconvenience. #higherphotography

When you are in Edinburgh seeing the #jennysaville show, you might as well visit her new work ‘Aleppo’ in the National Gallery on the Mound too. More modern art should be hung; framed by a coloured wall. They only do it with old masters and usually have modern art in white boxes... it’s not right.

I’ve loved the work of Jenny Saville for years, but never got to see any of it in real life. It is huge and impressive and worth seeing now in the Modern Art Gallery in Edinburgh if you can. #jennysaville #awestruck

Here’s my entry into the #jacquelinewilson competition - ‘Tracy Beaker’... of course I’m not allowed to win it... (or even enter for that matter, but I thought I’d give it a go). I am hoping to see some of your entries soon. #olsphighschool #theartclassroom #theartclassroomblog #jacquelinewilsoncompetition

I have your award as requested @ryanjones.http 😂😂 Come and get it. Niamh... if you are not coming back to school at any point, can you PM me and I’ll post it to you. @niamhcollins15 #photographyaward #higherphotography

Clydebank High School is running another great session for film makers on the 12th June: 9:00-12:30pm. See @create_festival for details and more info.

It always blows my retinas whenever the poppies emerge in my garden. They only come out for a fleeting moment (about 4 days) and then die off and fall apart, but they look magnificent in the short time they’re showing off. #poppy #unexpectedgardener #ididntmakethis

I have a huge haul of Jacqueline Wilson goodies that I’d like to give away. If you’d like to win some prizes all you have to do is draw your own version of one of her characters and at me - ‘@theartclassroom’ in your post. The prizes will be split into a winner and two runners up, but it won’t hurt to take part. I don’t mind posting the prizes to anywhere in the world so you don’t have to be part of my school or even a pupil to take part. The prizes are small and fun and include items like runners, rulers, stickers small art projects. I’ll keep the competition open for a month and choose the winners at the end of June. Good luck and happy drawing!! #jacquelinewilson #jacquelinewilsoncompetition #artcompetition #theartclassroom #theartclassroomblog

And if Speak & Spell doesn’t blow your mind, Little Professor calculator will... This is what I actually played with for fun back in the early eighties... no joke... #littleprofessorcalculator #texasinstruments #calculator #littleprofessor #vintagetoys

This is what us eighties kids did with our spare time. We didn’t have ‘Fortnight’ in our day, you kids don’t know you are alive... 😂 #speakandspell #ETspeakandspell #ET #vintagegame #texasinstruments

‘Woman sewing in a garden’ by Mary Cassatt, 1914. Comment on the use of colour, technique and composition. Give two reasons why these add to the subject matter of the work. (10 marks) #nat5expressive #nat5artanddesign #nat5artanddesignexam

‘Transformer’ by Takara Toys, 1984 - plastic and metal transforming toy. Comment on the function, the form and the target market. Why do you think this toy was so successful, two reasons. (10 marks) #nat5design #nat5artanddesign #nat5artanddesignexam

‘Unemployment’ by Ben Shahn, 1938 (Tempera on paper) Comment on the artist’s use of colour, line and composition. Two reasons why the subject matter is well represented. 10 marks #nat5artanddesign #nat5artanddesignexam #nat5artexam #nat5surprisequestion #nat5expressive

My Nat 5 lot... I am holding supported study for my lot period 4 today. Miss McInnes will hold study class for you 1 & 2 tomorrow. Surprise questions will be put up here later. 👍🏻

I am on my new timetable today... I will let you all know when I’m free to do study classes today. There might even be one today; so keep an eye open. I will also update here with some surprise questions.

Just bought my first #foliosociety book and I am very happy with it. Richard Matheson’s ‘I am Legend’ with illustrations by Dave McKean. Books don’t get better than this. #richardmatheson #iamlegend #davemckean #ilovebooks @foliosociety

I love the variety of little stop animation figures being made in class too; from Sara’s bowl haircut, Ice Cream eater to D.L. ‘s and Declan’s little bare footed boy. #theartclassroom #theartclassroomblog #olsp #olsphighschool #stopanimation #stopanimationcharacter

Doing some simple stop animation with plasticine and paper backdrops today with my S1 class. It was really good fun. I’m looking forward to seeing what Nuala’s, Nik’s, John’s and Mary’s ‘Space Craters’ animation will look like. #olsp #olsphighschool #s1 #stopanimation
