Today I went to a local Youth Club after arranging a visit a couple of weeks ago, to get started on the street event (where the dolls would be on show!). I made some work sheets for the little work shop i was doing to get some ideas generated for after the holidays when it comes to painting the dolls. I wanted to get them thinking about different ways to show your passions and aspects of themselves by thinking about what kinds of things they were interested in, like favourite colours, favourite shapes, and animals that they think are like them in some way, i got them thinking about how to put their favourite things into symbols and patterns, without it being 'realistic'. I wanted everything to by somewhat stylised so it would be simple to apply it to the doll. I have kept the work sheets so that they can look back and remember what things they've drawn to apply to the doll, which i will figure out next time i will go (after easter). Next time I go i will be preparing drawings of dolls to help them figure out where to place the drawings they've done. The time after that I will have the model dolls ready to paint! Exciting! Here are some stuff that the children drew today, and some of the work sheets I prepared for them.

Work already produced, this was to help inspire them!
Express:
This was used to think of things that they are passionate about and things that make them individual!
Ideas:
This was where they put words to drawings! I asked them to create patterns & simplify the shapes.

This was where they drew a version of themselves using the patterns and things they liked!
