Sail Boats

The Pre-Primary students worked with the elements of line, shape and colour to create sail boats on a wavy ocean. The collages are very bright and cheerful.

In Visual Arts we have been looking at some of the animals native to the Joondalup area.

Brushtail Possum/Koomoorl/Goormoorl/Goomal

The students in Room 30 did contour drawings of a brushtail possum/Koomoorl/Goormoorl/Gooma. They used watercolour pencils to add colour. A background was created with mixed media. First the students did wax crayon rubbings of gum leaves and then added a dye wash. A tree was painted in acrylic using cardboard. Finally, after the possum/Koomoorl/Goormoorl/Gooma was cut out, it was pasted on the background. The cutting out was very tricky, even for the adult who helped out with this!

Magpies/Koorlbardie

Magpies/Koorlbardie were drawn by the students in Rooms 18, 19 & 20. They were coloured with felt pen and cut out. The cutting out was mostly done for the students. A background was created with mixed media. First the students did wax crayon rubbings of gum leaves and then added a dye wash. A tree was painted in acrylic using cardboard. Finally, the magpies/koorlbardie were pasted on.

Western Grey Kangaroo/Yonga

The year six students drew a kangaroo/yonga and then worked with the element of tone to shade it in pencil. A background was created by using gum leaves as a stencil and spraying paint or dye over the top. The kangaroo/yonga was pasted on and tracks added. The students worked with one of the principles of design and movement. The tracks create movement around or across the page.
