Challenge Three: The View From My Window

The theme for this week's challenge is 'The view from my window'. This means you can use ANY media (pencils, crayons, pastels, paint, collage, clay etc.) to create a piece of artwork which represents the view from your window. 

You could create a representation of:

• the actual view from your window
• an imaginary view from your window (e.g. a window into your dreams)
• the view you want for the future when you look out of your window

 
It is completely up to you what you want to create! I felt this idea was fitting for a challenge as we are all spending more time at home and there are so many different views from our windows. 

Excitingly, this week's challenge is a competition!  There are going to be three prizes: a FS/KS1 prize, a KS2 prize and an adult prize (any adult can enter: parent, staff member, governor, family member...the more the merrier!) and because of this, I am going to give you two weeks to complete it. 

When you have finished, take a picture and send it to chunt@denbyfree.org.uk.  The closing date for entries is Monday 8th February.

 Some suggested steps for getting started:

1. Start sketching and gathering some ideas and views from your window, looking at composition and a subject or view that interests you.
2. Take your pen for a walk and sketch the view first.
3. Do you want to include the window frame or not?
4. Do you want to include an interior scene with outdoors?
5. What view do you get in different directions?
6. Is there something that is fun or sends a message?
7. Can ordinary everyday objects make an interesting subject?
8. Include the main shapes and ideas in your sketch. Include the tones so you pick out lights, darks and medium shades.

I've put some ideas below to get you thinking.
Can't wait to see what you do!
