PLASTICINE PEACE PROJECT

This year for the Day of Peace, the sixth grade students made pictures with plasticine. First, we looked at the works of Barbara Reid. Ms. Reid is an artist and writer from Canada. She makes picture books with beautiful paintings. All of her paintings are made with plasticine. We watched videos of Barbara Reid working and learned her technique. It was almost time to start making our plasticine paintings, but first we needed inspiration! We chose scenes from the Michael Jackson music video “Heal the World.” The song is about peace and making the world a better place for children. After watching the music video and choosing images, it was time to make the picture. We started with the background and the sky. It was hard work but the results were beautiful! At the end of the project, each student chose words related to peace and used plasticine to write them on the picture. These are the Peace projects after discovering Barbara Reid´s
