It was great to see Chloe and Chase creating their own artworks at home. Taking some time out and just enjoying something creative can relax you and involve the whole family.

Chase created the Death Star and Chloe created a waterfall from the shadow of a glass. Great work ! Thanks for sharing

 

Wow  Prep H has done an absolutely awesome job creating their rainbow collections. I had art back from all these students- Ben, Brayden, Cecilia, Kaylee, Kloe, Lara, Layla, Cohen, Maison, Matthew, Olivia, Rylee, Sebastian, Zara, Lilly, Lucas, Luke Kairav and Emma.

I can only post pictures without faces so sorry to those other students. There were even a few posts that came and the Preps talked about their art work. Have fun putting it all back !

Thanks Mum and Dad.

Here is a wonderful set of artworks by Ashlee and her brothers. They are keeping busy creating some wonderful work at home. It is great to see so much creativity happening and it’s really good to relax with some drawing, painting, or construction work. Sometimes you just need some downtime too. Well done Ash.

 

Some beautiful art work was sent to Mrs Turton and she has passed it on to me, Mrs Liesfield, so that we can all enjoy the creativity that is happening in our local area.Keep up the great work everyone and add some colour to our days. Well done.

The Preps have created some magical rainbow artworks. I saw some beautiful work from Prep CS – Well done to Alison, Bailey, Chase, Dylan, Harper, Hnin, Jayden, Kayla H, Kayla D, Poppy and Parker and there was a fabulous one with hot wheels cars.

Here are a few. Unfortunately no posts with faces in , sorry. But the art works were gorgeous.

Remember – red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo and violet.

Hi All

We are hoping that while you are being creative at home it would be great if we could all still see your artwork.

So we ask that when you have finished your art, if you are allowed, could you hang it in the window or on the outside wall so that as people go for a walk or drive by they can see that we are still a creative community making beautiful art. Have a go.

Here’s one of mine as an example.

Hi Everyone

Well it is a little tricky doing art over the internet but we can still create some great projects.

It would be terrific if you could collect things that we can make art with-

Paper, cardboard, boxes, textas, pencils, fabric, felt, wool, small sticks, stickers, magazines, skewers can all be useful.

You can certainly adapt the art lessons to what you have at home, you will just need to really use your imagination and think about alternatives that might work. If you have paint try it, otherwise use coloured pencils.

It would be great also if you could keep photos of your work of keep your work in a folio so that when we see each other at school again we can share some of the art we have created.

I can also show you some art I created over the holidays and projects I have been trying out for your art lessons.

This is a lino print of Arthur’s Circus in Tasmania. Hope you like it.

 

Happy creating Mrs Liesfield.

 

Recently we had an exhibition of student work at the Lilydale Show. The work looked fabulous, lots of colour which is always great and represented many of the projects that we have undertaken during semester two. We had delicious Prep Cup Cakes, soft sculptures by grade 3, 4 and 5 which included beautifully sewn cakes, doughnuts and more cupcakes. Grade 5 was also represented by their delightful “zines” that they created about Aboriginal art. Grade 2 had on display some”bark paintings” and grade 3 and 4 had made some terrific wire and wool sculptures in the style of the Tjanpi Desert Weavers. The fabulous paintings at the back were created as collaborative projects by grade 4 early in the year when we looked at endangered animals. 

We have all been sewing during term 3, creating cakes, doughnuts, cupcakes, tea cups, lolly bags. It has been a delicious term in the art room.

Grade 5 made the cake slices

Grade 3 Doughnuts on plate

Grade 2 Lolly Bags

Prep Giant Cup Cakes

Grade 1 Painted and Stitched Party Food

YUM!

Grade 5 have created some stunning watercolour artworks. We looked at the UN rights for children then created a watercolour painting to fit the idea. Learning to use watercolours properly was a bit of a challenge but we were lucky to have Miss B with us to help.

Students worked layering the watercolours to give more depth to their painting. Next we added some fine liner and a little collage.

The results were fabulous.
