Snake Coil Pots

Clay - one of our favourite lessons each term!

This term we've made coil pots, winding the last coil up to form a snake. Some of the kids went further and wound the last coil around the pot so that their snakes are wrapping themselves around the pot.

The Year of The Snake

In celebration of the Chinese New Year on February 10, 2013 - The Year of the Snake!

Dali Elephants

At the end of last year I took a few weeks off and had a wonderful holiday traveling around Spain. I promised the kids that I'd come home with lots of great ideas for our art class ......

After looking at 'The Elephants' by Spanish Surrealist artist Salvidor Dali we drew our own elephants (and other creatures!) in the style of Dali, with bodies positioned high in the page and balanced on impossibly spindly legs.

Storms at Sea in Oil Pastel

 It is coming into the storm season here in Queensland - as we move into summer, afternoon storms become common, and later in the season Cyclones become more likely. Living at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, one of my favourite things is watching the afternoon storms sweep in from the ocean. As the sky blackens, sometimes the sun breaks through to bathe the ocean and land below in heightened brilliant color.

Initial Playgrounds & The Happiest Accident

Painting our Gremlin sculptures takes just over a half lesson, which leaves me with about 30 minutes.....

One thing all of my kids seem to love is the adventure playground. Even my year 7s often ask if they can play on the equipment during the break (sorry guys, since many kids choose to work through the break I can't be there to supervise, so it's not going to happen!)

Students start by drawing their initials large on the page, with a horizon line. Their task is to create an adventure playground using their initials as the support structure.
