"Money isn’t the scarcest resource — imagination is." — Linda Yates, Wolf media type="youtube" key="S3kfSQJ4avM" height="270" width="282" Welcome To our Junior Thinkers Morning - We started off by designing our own version of a SMET. We all started with the same parts but had the challenge to come up with a version that was original or unique. We then had to elaborate on our ideas and explain out SMET’s personality and features that gave it strengths and weaknesses.





We then extended our thinking by using pipe cleaners’ and straws to make objects related to our SMET. We had to take the ordinary and transform it into the extraordinary by being FLEXIBLE with our thinking.





In our session we looked at Carl Warner and his foodscapes ideas.

We imagined we were in a gallery looking at his work. We had to try and predict what the information sign might have said about his work. We then selected photos to match questions like: Which scene would you like to be in? What one do yout hink is the most creative? Which one would you like to ask carl questions about? We then had a go even though we were not using fresh food!!!!!

What can we learn from Carl about creativity and also valuing your talents?

Our Text For Today.....  The Sound of Colors: A Journey of the Imagination by Jimmy Liao “A year agoI began to noticethat my sight was slipping away.I sat at home aloneand felt the darkness settle around me.But today I walked outsideinto the thin gray rain and made my way to the subway.I have a journey to go on.There are some thingsI need to find.” With those words, a blind girl descends into the subway in search of the color she has lost.We painted a background of colour and then we had a go at blind drawing to add our image on.
