Acton High Heads
1st July, 2009
Over 2 days, two Year 10 groups worked hard to build large head sculptures. They designed and planned, constructed and clad bamboo cane and wire structures, and brought them to life in a darkened room, by projecting weird and wonderful animated facial features and sounds… Everyone worked with real talent.
A cow moos - a skull ignites - barbie girl sings - growling - yawning - crying - slurping - an eye explodes - a geek looks geeky - and she says blah, blah, blah! (we still can’t get it out of our heads).
In amongst all of this, a few pupils found a spare 5 minutes to make this odd little animation too!
We had a good time working in London. Thanks to all of you who were involved, you were fun to work with, - we think you should all be really proud of the results.
What really inspired us was how different everyone’s finished pieces came out - the Easter Island face really fitted the structure perfectly, the same goes for the geek, such detail. The robot/stand/mega-structure a masterpeice of engineering! The exploding skull was a shock, there was an audible gasp from everyone when it blew up. There was real attention to the details too - the tear falling, nostrils flaring, incredible mustache. The cow chewing and mooing gave us all a laugh. Sand animation mixed with photographs and a hand made mouth, put together for a strange and wonderful effect. The beautiful blah blah woman batting her eyelids…
Thanks to you too Mr Fullwood - it was great to work with you too, after so long talking about it!
