Year One - Rockets

The Year One students had fun using the collage materials to create rockets to display in the hall for Presentation Night.  I think they all loved using the sequins and the glitter paper.

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.

Year One - Finished Soft Toy Cats! (Inspired by Laurel Burch)

The Year One students were very excited this week to take their finished soft toy cats home.  They did a great job of sewing them - hardly any needed extra sewing to patch up 'missed' spots.  The cats all looked wonderful and had such individual personalities.

    

Year One - Laurel Burch Inspired Cats (Part two)

The Year One's have had fun using edicol dye and fabric crayons to make a fabric version of a Laurel Burch cat.  I don't usually like to use templates but provided the outline of the cat to the students so that they would not be too small....even after using a template it is lovely to see the variety of different cats created.  We will be making these cats into our very own soft toys - today we started sewing...when they are completed I will post some photo's of the finished products.

 

 

 

 

 

Year One - Laurel Burch Inspired Cats

The Year One students enjoyed looking at the work of artist Laurel Burch.  We looked at how her art work has been turned into many things including plates, buttons and fabric.  The Year One students then created their own art works inspired by the bright colours and the patterns that she uses in her work.

   

 

 

 

Year One - Farm Animals

    

   

   

The Year One students painted these wonderful pictures of farm animals.  We first looked at the basic body shape of the animals and which geometric shape best suited the animal.  We talked about what you might see outside on the farm so that we could paint some of these things in the background.  I think they did a fantastic job.  (This activity was inspired by the work of Patty on Deep Space Sparkle - you can find the link to their site at the side of the page).
