Christmas Banners for Melbourne Airport

Posted by tlpsart on November 24, 2009

Our Grade 5 students have been busy working as a group on Christmas drop banners for Melbourne Aiport.
 We are very proud of the way they worked together to make these colourful banners.
 They will be displayed, along with  banners from many schools across Melbourne, in the International Arrivals section during December.

Katerina’s Pet Skunk

Posted by tlpsart on November 12, 2009

Our Grade 3 students have been working with wool to make Pom-Poms.
Depending on the colours used these can remind you of things so this one was expertly added to
and made into a skunk. I had no input except for helping with the cutting and tying.
Considering that we don’t have skunks in Australia I think Katerina has shown
great imagination.Congratulations Katerina.

Even More Masks

Posted by tlpsart on October 31, 2009

I am very pleased with the quality of the Grade 6 paper mache masks this year. They took a while but my

belief is that”Quality work takes time”.Congratulations to our students- the hard work paid off.

Now we’re making  individual mosaics and working on a group  mosaic  for the “Year of the Ox.”

Well Done Nathan

Posted by tlpsart on October 27, 2009

I was thrilled to have one of our Grade 5PL students, Nathan,  bring in this piece of wood burning which he did in his grandfather’s workshop

during the weekend a few weeks ago.

Fantastic artwork Nathan and congratulations to Nathan’s grandfather for providing the wood and inspiring  the work.IMG_5105

The Art of Photography – Terra Australis

Posted by tlpsart on September 19, 2009

These are just a few of our favourite photos from our around  Australia trip earlier this year.
They were all taken in the picturesque Northern Territory.
The “Reflections”photo and the Waterlilies were taken on the Yellow Waters cruise at Kakadu.

Any of our Taylors Lakes Primary students who may be visiting the blog are welcome to try drawing the crocodile or the lizard and bring it to their next Art Class.
The other two would make great topics for a watercolour painting.

We are having a two week Term  break beginning  on Monday 21st September.
Happy Holidays.
