THE MORE YOU LOOK THE MORE THERE IS TO SEE

 In the past couple of weeks we have continued to look at natural patterns and create impressions of these through sketching and ink work.  We have moved across into the room next to the music, to create our studio, which will also house our exhibition at the project’s completion.  Students have been making increasingly diverse shapes – including cylinders of varied scale and proportions.  Students who volunteered for the expert group have also had the chance to make large seedpod type shapes, onion domes and spheres out of multiple pattern pieces.  The garden continues to grow!

ENDANGERED SPECIES COMPETITION

In Grade 2/3 students have been busily working on art pieces promoting the challenges faced by particular endangered animal species.  This was inspired by a competition run by The Humane Society.  As not all the students were able to complete both their art piece and the written component in time for the competition, we decided that we would have a small WFPS competition along the same lines. 

Teachers helped to select our award recipients based on a couple categories.

The original brief was that the work needed to show an endangered animal and tell a story, with images, of how their particular animal’s survival is threatened. 

The following students were selected for their composition and then through the creative ways they responded to the design brief:

Frankie, Sylvie, Abi P, Joe, Georgie, Saffron, Levi J, Iris and Faith.  

The second category is in recognition of particular techniques and expression within the art piece. These students are:

Sascha, Detroit, Makinti and Sullivan. 

It was a tough decision and all students are congratulated for their efforts!
