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.

Aboriginal Art inpsired scratch back paintings

 

Inspired by the bark painting of Johnny Bulumbulum Level 3 and 4 students created their own painting using the scratch back technique. It was the first time I have tried this technique. Some were more successful then others but overall it was a good effect.

 

 

Sewing Rainbows with Grades 1 and 2

How good is sewing on hessian?!! It looks amazing and the kids loved it. Believe it or not this took almost the whole term and most students didn't finish but I am very impressed by their persistence how neat they worked. Their first introduction to a running stitch.

 

Complimentary colour flowers with Foundation

 

Foundations students learnt about complimentary colours and how to use them together to make effective combinations. They created a flower garden demonstrating their knowledge.

 

All about line with Grade 1 and 2

For Term 3 we completely focused on line. Just because I love line and everything you can do with a line. We used as many different mediums as we could and pushed the idea of line and how you can create an artwork using line. They used many different skills and mediums during the term. It was a very productive term.

Anime with Grade 5 and 6

Term Three saw us study Anime for the first time. This came with an extreme love affair that some of our students have with Anime and Manga. It was a really excellent term of work. Once they had learnt to basics of how to draw Anime characters they then had to design a movie poster with a specific target audience.

Once they were done they then made a self portrait in Anime style to sell at the school fete.
