STUDENT ARTWORKS - MEDIA VARIATION 2 - BEAUTIFUL BIRD, FABULOUS FEATHERS

Image
   I am super happy with how these artworks turned out. We started to run out of time towards the end, so I had to quickly modify what we did. Some students had to leave off colouring in the background around the feathers but I don't think it diminished from the appearance of the artwork at all. Some didn't get to apply the metallic markers and I like those artworks as well.    Well done to the students of Year 5/6P at Windsor South, NSW, Australia....

   We had fun today creating these gorgeous artworks. I am so impressed with how the students were able to capture the personalities of baby orangutans. Cute but ugly and lovable.     The students had previous studied Indonesia, in particular Sumatra, as their Place in Geography. This enabled them to be highly active and informative during our discussions about the orangutan, its status as critically endangered and how we can better look after this precious animal. How To Instructions can be found in the post Beautiful Babies posted on 4th DEcember, 2019.     Please note that I did modify one Step slightly. Instead of outline the pencil drawing with black ink and a thin brush, we outlined in peramanent black marker. I did this as I knew we would have a 20 - 25min interruption and I wanted to be sure the artwork was completed by the end of the day.    Well done to Year 3/4 at Windsor South Public School, NSW, Australia.....
