Making Waves!
We looked at art by local Sunshine Coast artist Terry Cooper, loving his use of line and colour to capture the energy of the waves... before making waves of our own!

Scribbly Gums
Our art this week is inspired by Gustav Klimt's 'Birch Forest' and this lesson from Angela Anderson.
Our version has a uniquely Australian twist, taking the Australian Scribbly Gum for our subject. This tree hosts the Scribbly Gum moth larvae, which leaves a distinctive and quite beautiful squiggly pattern as it burrows beneath the bark of the tree.
We masked our trees with adhesive contact before painting on canvas sheets and embellishing with stamped gold pattern. When the paint dried we carefully removed the masking and finished the trees with pen & oil pastel. A final smudge of gold paint adds a shimmering shadow along the length of each tree.
This painting is so effective, yet not difficult to do, so that every child experiences the pride of achievement!
