Much of our art this year has been inspired by the books we have read.

In Term 1 we read “Mr Poppers Penguins” and students used mixed media including collage, watercolour washes and crayons to create cool penguins sitting and skating in their icy environment.

In Term 2 “Alice in Wonderland” was our class book and we had fun imagining what Alice could see through the keyhole and what was in the beautiful garden on the other side of the door.

Our Science activities in Term 3 were focused on the sun, moon and earth and in art we explored the cool and warm colours associated with the sun and moon, and applied them to abstract images of our solar and lunar bodies.

Another art inspiration this year was the fertile farming land surrounding our school. Students imagined all the crops and the patchwork of paddocks they pass on their way to school each day. We also looked at the beautiful flowers in our school garden and students created beautiful floral portraits using watercolour, acrylics and adding layers of collage to bring them to life.

Mani, continues to amaze us with his beautiful pencil sketches of animals, created quickly and accurately with great regularity, particularly the reptiles that he loves so much.
