In the art room.
Over the past two weeks Grade prep had fun making a 3D paper strip adventure
play ground as well as painting a picture of peacock features. In creating these
works students explored form, space and colour. Students will finish their pea-
cocks off with some textural decoration.
The grade 1/2 have been working on some 3D fish and we will continue to work
on the paper towel fish creations this week which will be made into mobile deco-
rations.
Grade 3/4 students have changed pace from our street scape to having fun
painting textural owl paintings. Students used a fork to apply the paint, resulting
in great texture for the feathers.
Grade 5/6 had good success in completing tissue paper textural paintings and are
moving onto scratch art pieces. Well done to all students this semester, you have
created many wonderful artworks.
