Art with Jacinta

The Year 1 and 2 students created these "blast off rocket" artworks. We had lots of fun experimenting with shaving cream, food dye and printing. 

The Year 5 students created these 2D African inspired masks. The students had to complete a design brief plan, which supported their choice of medium (paint, pastels, collage etc.)

The Year 3 students created these beautiful Andy Warhol inspired pop art prints. For the subject matter the students' could select and sketch from observation an individual flower, a vase of flowers, or a cactus plant. The focus of this task was on the art element of line and space (filling the whole area of the foam stamp print).

It makes me so happy when students bring in their own artwork from home to show me and their peers in the Art Room - it's always so special. 

The Year 6 students (and year 5/6EH!) created these amazing Ndebele inspired African dolls. We used a plastic water bottle filled with sand for the body and a ball of stuffing covered with material and attached to the bottle neck with a rubber band. I was particularly impressed with the students' designs and the way they approached this task! There were some students who worked hard on creating intricate beaded designs on the clothes and hair and even some students designed their own material, replicating the traditional Ndebele dress. A real Ndebele doll brought in by a student. This was great inspiration! Thanks Issy!
