Whilst talking about Australia and its farms and gardens last Term our Grade 3 and 4 students made Scarecrows for their own gardens. Using wooden dowel sticks tied with string, dyed calico, hessian and a variety of materials, including rafia to represent straw, the students created scarecrows which all had individual character. Here are just a few. There are more to come soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Grade 5 and Grade 6 students have been drawing animals with an Australian theme and have looked at the illustrations of Australian Author-Illustrator Graeme Base to inspire them. They sketched with 2B pencil first before adding watercolour paints and fineliner pen outlines. Congratulations to Cathy, Sarah and Maddy on their excellent work.

Prep students used a felt bear as a “starting point” for their 3 Bears drawing. They added Collage to complete the work in their last Art lesson of our school year.

Grade One students constructed these Bird Puppets with flappable wings and turnable heads.They have paper mache heads and  thick cane is used for the flappable wings.When the hand goes up inside the cereal box and the cane is pulled on (gently) the wings move.

These Rocking Horses were made by stencil printing horses and adding them to curved red cardboard strips.They also stencil printed other toys of their choice. The Prints were cut out and used in a Toy Collage. They were displayed in the classrooms.

Grade One students made geese from Paper Magic Clay and added them to watercolour crayon backgrounds.

The work was inspired by Margaret Wild’s picture story book Lucy Goosey.
