The Art Lady

For one Lunchtime a week, I ran an Art Club which was very popular. I had to narrow the group down to 10 students instead of the 30 or so students who wanted to join. Just too many for the minimal amount of time I had.    Anyway, these are the results. I must apologise for the poor quality images. I forgot to take my iPad to school and had to use the camera on my phone. I don't like it. It doesn't take very good photos but I hope you can overlook that and see the beautiful artworks the kids created.    The students worked in pairs or alone, and when the artworks were finished, they formally presented them to the Principal a gifts for the school. A very nice gesture I thought.    I posted the HOW TO INSTRUCTIONS to create this artwork  in the post Wildflowers - Contemporary Aboriginal Art w ay back on 7/8/2017. *************************************************** ************************************************** ******************************

My Kindy class really loved created their germ artworks. We had many discussions about germs, good germs and bad germs.    Here are their artworks...….

   A wonderful day today. The students created beautiful drawings of the green and golden bell frog, learnt about where this frog lives and how important it is to maintain its population, as it thought to be extinct. It was rediscovered in 2000 when work began at the brick pits in Sydney, Australian, to build the tennis courts for the Olympic Games.    Well done to the students of Year 5/6 at South Windsor Public School. It was really nice to be back with you all.    There is a variation to the artwork that was created. The original border using posca pens and metallic paint pens, was replaced with green and golden coloured paper torn into pieces to simulate the patterns on the green and golden bell frog.     Students then added organic shapes with black markers and fine tip pens. Additional detail was then added with metallic paint pens in the form of stippling. This  last Step is optional and I think that when I do this artwork again, I will leave off the stippling effect.
