Lydia's Entry into Jeane's Book

I was really excited about this book as I love anything to do with theatre.  I am teaching my favorite unit in Pre-School at the moment, 'Exploring the Arts'.  It always reminds me that I am an art teacher and not just required to teach 4 years to do up their zips (although I see the value in that too of course!).
I love combining the visual and performing elements of the unit.  One of our projects will be to act out different emotions.  To document their acting prowess I will photograph their facial expressions then use the power of color to enhance the images.  These are some of my demos, I have used colored oil pastels over black and white photocopies. When you rub the pastel away a bit it becomes very translucent and allows the subtly of the photograph/expression to show through. I think they fit well into the theme of FACADE.
