Zebras

The students in Year Four worked with the contrast, one of principles of design. The contrasting element was with black and white. 

Giraffe
The students in Year Four continued working with the principle of design, contrast, to create a giraffe. The focus principle of design was pattern. Simple patterns were used in the giraffe spots. 

Pizza
The students in Pre-Primary listened to the story "The Little Red Hen Makes Pizza". Working with the focus on the elements of form, colour and texture they created a sculpture of pizza on a plate. 

Landscape in Windy Weather 

We have had some very strong winds on Mondays when the Year Three's attend Visual Arts. After viewing the artwork of Vincent van Gogh, "Landscape in Windy Weather", the students worked with charcoal to create a windy weather landscape. The focus was on movement, a principle of design. 

Cushion Cover

The Year Six students created a cushion cover. This was a long term project involving many different elements. They drew the wildflower, hibbertia and cut out a paper stencil. The hibbertia was silk screened onto calico. The centres of the flowers were then embroidered in coloured cotton. Some students had great success with sewing a French knot, while others worked with small stitches to create their design. Fabric crayons were used to make leaf rubbings. The students then used the sewing machines to stitch the cushion cover up. An insect or spider was drawn and transferred onto the cushion cover using an iron on transfer.

Makuru

Makuru is the start of the first rains. The Year One students used wax crayons to draw rain, puddles and a rainbow. The colour spectrum was revised before drawing the rainbow. Using the wet on wet technique water colour paints were painted across the page to create a stormy sky. The students worked with the principle of design pattern to colour the umbrella. The collage was then completed by pasting on their pre-cut photo, umbrella and drawing in the umbrella handle.
