Lunch Time Art

Due to popularity, I will be dividing Lunch Time Art up for Term 4. Last Friday I had about 30 kids in the Art Room because I cannot say NO! 

Here is the new schedule:

On Fridays, it will be Prep to year 2 for the first 5 weeks and Year 3 to Year 6 for the last 5 weeks! Students will have to come show me a plan for their design and gives reasons why they should be part of Art Club! If kids show me a solid plan and are dedicated to coming every Friday for 5 weeks they will be invited to Art Club. 

On Mondays, it will be Prep to year 2 for the first 5 weeks and Year 3 to year 6 for the last 5 weeks. The students coming to this session with be selected by Teachers!

Magic word is "Ish"



Last week we read "Ish" for our final book for book month. The story is about a boy to who loves to draw than stops because his brother laughed at one of his drawings. The boy, with help from his sister, realises that drawing don't have to look perfect and can be described as "ish".  I encouraged children to draw their favourite things! Next week we will be painting them!

Lunch Time Art



I had to sneak this project on here! Kelly and Grace did a fantastic job of creating an image that was inspired by the circus and Tim Burton. The girls used cardboard, paper, tape and clay for the armature and sculpey clay and paint for the patina. Great job girls!



Joseph did a lovely job of creating a butterfly. He used cardboard rolls, cardboard, sculpey clay, foam, paint and coloured paper.

Eric Carle Took Over the Art Room

Book Month continued...

Preps worked very hard at cutting out shapes out of our textured paper that we made last week to create an animal and or background image. The popular choices were trees, butterflies and snakes. Some more interesting images including rocketships, rhinos and angry birds. Their art work turned out great!

Here are a few samples.
