Fish

The students in rooms 18, 19 and 20 used warm coloured oil pastels to colour their fish. The colour was then covered with black oil pastel and patterns etched into the black to reveal the bright colours underneath. A blue dye was then painted around the fish.

Sand Dollars

Sand dollars were observed by the students in rooms 4 and 6. The students drew them, creating patterns with radial symmetry. The sand dollars were coloured with oil pastels and watercolour paint or dye as well as glitter paint was painted around them.

Djilba

Djilba is a transitional time of the year, with some very cold and clear days combining with warmer, rainy and windy days mixing with the occasional sunny day or two.

Djilba season is a time to look for the yellow and cream flowers starting en mass.

This is the start of the massive flowering explosion that happens in the South West. This starts with the yellow flowering plants such as the Acacias. Also colours that are around at this time of year are creams, combined with some vivid and striking blues.

Acacia

The Students in rooms 3 and 6 viewed Acacias and then using cardboard, pom poms and acrylic paint printed these lovely sprays of acacia or wattle.

Bottlebrush

WA has two species of bottlebrush. Both are found in the South West. Using cardboard, skewers and acrylic paint the students in rooms 4 and 7 printed sprays of bottlebrush.

Wildflowers on Mass

The students in rooms 18, 19 and 20 created these lovely wildflowers. They used cardboard to scrape paint down the page, painted stems and then printed the flowers on using a variety objects.

Blooming Wildflowers  

These lovely paintings of wildflowers were created by the students in rooms 30 and 31. They used the technique of wet on wet with watercolour paints to lay down the background and then using a variety of objects, including their fingers, printed the flowers on.
