Robot making is an emerging theme in the studio. Several children have discovered the recycled materials and are using them to create "robot" characters inspired by their own imaginations. Each of the creations is accompanied by a story. The one pictured below is as follows:
This
is Desmund- Harry. He has two guns. He shoots the bad guys. He rides his horse. He’s the dad and he is good. He is prepared for any mission and he likes
helping the toddlers. He eats chicken
and broccoli and even he eats turkey.
For Thanks giving he kills lions to eat.
He has a hat on and he is a protector.
He is Zeger’s friend.
Once a story robot is created, many of the children ask me to join them on second line to share their stories and creations with the class.
This is an opportunity for the children to ask questions directly of the artist and for artists to share their thinking .
I also find that these show-and-share opportunities foster emerging projects and inspire big thinking.
