Edible Art at Easter

During the last two weeks of the Spring term P7A were investigating and discovering information about the Easter story.

To help the pupils understanding it was important to tackle these lessons in a interactive modern way.

Some examples of the approach taken were:

Edible Art
To depict some of the important aspects of the Easter story and understand that Christ sacrificed himself through death and was then resurrected, the children created art using edible materials - the resurrection, they then had the pleasure of eating this art -its death. Pictures were taken through out the process, so that they could be reversed and made into a film to create the image of death & sacrifice (agreeing who would have the most yummy parts of the art) followed by its rebirth.

The source pictures may be viewed at:

The films are currently being made by the pupils from these source photos.

To Download the Pictures to iPhoto
Use the above link to access the pictures, go into the album you are interested in. On the right hand side of the screen there is a link called - 'RSS Feed' - do a 'Right Mouse Button' on this and select - 'Copy Link Location'.

Go into iphoto - Select File/Subscribe to Photocast...... In the popup screen, you need to enter the web link, the easiest way is to press 'Apple-V' (Ctrl-V on a PC), followed by 'Subscribe'.

(These helpful suggestions where taken from http://azlan.anilezfa.com/download-picasa-web-album-with-iphoto).

This will download the photos. You can edit them before importing to iMovie.

In iMovie you need:

• Add a title page
• Add a credits page
• Add music - sombre music for the death and joyous music for the resurrection.

I JUST HOPE THESE LINKS WILL WORK ON THE SCHOOL NETWORK.

Painting based on classical biblical theme. Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Easter art.

The concept is we will take photos as it is made and then as we eat it.

The creation and the death

Make into a movie but reverse the view so --- death followed by creation to symbolise the death of Jesus and his resurrection.

Does anyone know where the earth movie we made is on YouTube ?
