What's happening in the art room?
Weeks 1 & 2:
Prep Prep students are continuing their fruit and vegetable collages, inspired by Megan Coyle. They’re focusing on layering paper and using fine motor skills to rip and glue pieces into place.
Year 1/2 Year 1/2 students have completed their Earth collages, adding magazine-cut letters to share messages about protecting the planet. They’ve now started a Ken Done-inspired project using Magiclay to sculpt reef creatures, thinking about the sea life found in the Great Barrier Reef.
Year 3/4 Year 3/4 students have finished their environmental magazine collages, each paired with a message encouraging care for the Earth. They’ve now moved on to textile art, using the God’s Eye weaving technique to create turtle designs with paddle pop sticks and yarn.
Year 5/6 Students have designed and created their own beeswax wraps. After sketching their designs with fabric markers, they applied melted wax to cotton fabric. This hands-on process also reinforced the value of sustainable, reusable materials.
