Thank you

Thank you to Pina, Amanda and Rhonda for all of your hard work with the framing on Friday! I cannot believe how much we achieved in one day. Thank you! If you would like to come along to help out with framing or putting displays up please see the sign up sheets in the office area.

Let the Silent Auction Begin…

We are excited to announce that the framed ‘St Joseph’s Cook Book Illustrations’, which were created by our Art Club students are now up for silent auction. Please pop in and visit our gallery in the front of the office. These art works will be up for silent action until 9PM on the night of the art show (Thursday 10th October). Please read on for further information about the silent auction pieces.

COOKING UP THE ILLUSTRATIONS

FOR OUR SCHOOL COOK BOOK

The hand drawn illustrations you will find throughout the pages of the St Joseph’s school cook book were created by the students in the St Joseph’s Primary School Art Club.

Firstly the students investigated key ingredients from areas around the world. Students then found photographs of each ingredient to use as a basis for their illustration. Using repeated observational drawing, the students drew the objects four times before they reached a final copy. Students then were explicitly taught water colour techniques such as colour testing, fading from transparent to opaque, blending from one colour to another, wet on wet, dry on dry and circles and splashes. Students then put these techniques into practise and water coloured their illustrations using the original photographs of the various ingredients as a reference for colour.

I am extremely proud of the art club students and the sensational illustrations they have created for the cook book.

The framed illustrations are available for silent auction, so please visit the reception area to have a look and bid on your favourite piece!
