Willy Wagtail - Djidi Djidi

The students in rooms 4, 5 & 6 created a willy wagtail - djidi djidi out of clay. The greenware was bisque fired and then the students glazed their work. Once the willy wagtail - djidi djidi was fired again the students added legs with wire and curled the toes onto a branch. They look fantastic hanging on the wall.

 

Wall Plaque

The pre-primary students in room 31 explored texture. They rolled out a slab of clay and used a variety of objects to create textures on it. The clay was bisque fired and then the students added a stain and glaze to highlight the textures. A wire for hanging was added after the final firing.

Water Lilies

The students in rooms 7 & 8 viewed the artwork of Claude Monet. Working in the style of this impressionist the students created a lily pond in oil pastels. The pastels were blended with baby oil.

Poppies

After viewing the work of Georgia O'Keeffe, the year five students painted a close-up of a poppy. The work was done in acrylic paint. The poppies looked spectacular all pinned together.
