Sewing soft food sculptures with Grades 5 and 6

Artist Lucy Sparrow was the inspiration for these sculptures. Lucy creates entire supermarkets by sewing every individual product. The students learnt how to sew two creations using a basic pattern using an overcast and running stitch.
 

















Andy Warhol and Ai Wei Wei with Grades 5 and 6

We were very lucky indeed to be offered a free all expenses paid excursion to the National Gallery of Victoria to see the amazing Andy Warhol and Ai Wei Wei exhibition.
We also had the pleasure of completing an art activity while we were there.
It was such a fabulous day and I can't thank the gallery enough.
On our return the students created an artwork in the style of Andy Warhol using the subject of their choice.
 
















Recycled Pukumani poles with Level 3 and 4

We studied the amazing work of Tiwi artists who create Pukumani poles (funeral poles). The students created their own Pukumani poles using recycled materials and using patterns and colours inspired by the artists work.
