Underwater Christmas Parties!

Our final project for 2016, and a special farewell to our graduating Year 6 students, many who have been joining our classes since they were in their Prep year! We will miss you so much, but I know you will enjoy your adventures into secondary school... good luck and have a blast!!

The summer holidays are here at last, and what better way to cool off than a dip in the ocean? What might we find there.... a coral reef, teeming with marine life? Perhaps an underwater Christmas party?

We've completed our art with a free choice of mixed media options.

Have a wonderful Christmas break, and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2017 for another fantastic year of Gr8 Art Fun!!

A Day At The Beach...

With the summer holidays only a couple of weeks away, we're looking forward to fun at the beach, cooling dips in the ocean, the sand between our toes and no more school shoes!!
This project, inspired by Plastiquem, was completed over two days, painting and printing the ocean, creating shells and beach creatures and designing thongs, before bringing it all together with beach sand and collage! Aren't they spectacular?

Baby Turtle Sculptures

After successfully making their way to the waves, newly hatched marine turtles will not return to dry land more than 17 years, when they return as adults to the very same beach where they hatched, to lay their own clutch of eggs.

We hope you enjoy our baby turtles, hatched at last!

Texture Landscapes

After painting our clay baby sea turtles (we'll see them finished next week) we have some time to experiment with texture rubbing plates.

We've drawn our landscapes directly with black marker (no erasers!), layer upon layer, beginning with the foreground and working our way through the middle and backgrounds. We've finished with colour applied over texture plates to create a rich and decorative surface texture.

Flights of Fantasy!

Our art this week is inspired by the whimsical art of Juri Romanov.

We let our imaginations take flight with elephants, giraffes, whales and many other unlikely creatures enjoying a hot-air balloon ride! Our pictures are completed using pages from an old dictionary, colour sticks and soft pastel.
