One of the great outcomes from the Buildings and Patterns project was using mood boards with reception class to gather inspiration from around the British Museum.
The children used mood boards to collect colours and shapes they saw in the Great Court and Africa Gallery.
The mood boards were just pieces of A3 paper and the children drew colours with chalk and crayon and cut out pieces of coloured sticky paper and stuck those on as well.
The children had already learned on their earlier visit to pick out patterns from objects, rather than just draw the objects themselves. The colours and shapes they collected from the Great Court and the Africa Gallery were very different.
The children then used the mood boards to create woven pieces of art, but they could be used to create all sorts of artwork. See one of the mood boards and the finished woven pieces below.
