Hello everyone!
I hope you're all well and keeping safe at home.
Can you guess what today is? Apart from 25th June, that is...
Apparently, it's Global Beatles Day today - who knew?! I didn't even know there was such a thing until I began researching ideas for this Blog, and you all know how much I love the Beatles! So, hot on the heels of last week's Beatles-themed homework in honour of Sir Paul McCartney's birthday, I bring you another activity linked to the Fab Four!
In 1967, the Beatles released one of their most famous albums: Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album was musically groundbreaking but perhaps the most famous thing about it was the design on its cover. The artist Peter Blake used collage to create an iconic image of the Beatles standing in front of a crowd of famous and memorable people. Peter Blake used 9 waxworks (including the four Beatles in younger days) and 57 photographs to create the scene.
So now, over to you. Why not create your own collage artwork in the style of Peter Blake? You could cut photos out of magazines (please ask first!) or print pictures of people who are important and memorable to you, and arrange them in a group, just like the cover of Sgt. Pepper. You could also add extra decorations such as flowers, just like Peter Blake did.
Maybe you could listen to some of the Beatles' music while you work - it will be just like being at school!
Have a 'fab' day!
