Year Two - Flower Power

The Year Two students created these lovely flower pictures using soft pastels and ink.  I love the contrast of the two different media.  I think the students enjoyed using the soft pastels - particularly seeing how they could blend the colours together.

Year Five - Rainforests

The Year Five students spent a lot of time working on these rainforest pictures.  They had to think carefully about the different layers of plants in the rainforest and what they look like as they drew them.  They then had to choose some rainforest creatures to add to the scene.  We talked about perspective and how things that are closer to us seem bigger.  Some of the butterflies and moths look like they have landed on the page.

Year Three - Collage flowers

The Year Three students made these collage flowers using a variety of materials.  We looked at a variety of flowers and noted the different shapes of the petals and the way the petals were 'layered' in some flowers. It is nice to see that they have all interpreted the activity in their own way.

Year Two - Poppies

The Year Two students have painted some beautiful poppies to brighten up the Art Room.  These have been inspired by the work of artist Georgia O'Keefe.

Year Four - Studio Art

This term the Year Four students have been learning how to think like artists.  They have been encouraged to explore their ideas and reflect on their work.  I have been pleased to see the focus of some students as they work on a project over a couple of weeks and bring it to completion.  Some of the students have enjoyed the opportunity to explore using mixed media.  Here is some of the fantastic work they have completed so far.

Year Three - Recycled Paper Weaving

This term the Year Threes have been working on making recycled art works.  We collected excess photocopying paper and then used it to create these weaving.

Thankyou to Art Lessons for Kids for the great idea.

Year One and Year Two - Cats

This term the Year One and Two students have been working on cat paintings for the Perth Royal Show.  These paintings will hopefully be exhibited in the Cat Pavilion during the show (depending on number of entries they receive).  I think the students have done a really nice job of them and I just love how each one is different and has such personality.
