Pop Art Food miniatures

Anyone hungry? Grade 4 have created some amazing food miniatures inspired by Pop artists from around the world. The only guideline the kids had was the food could be NO bigger then their thumb nail.

 My personal favourite is the sushi roll and pink sprinkle donut. MMMMMmmmmm!!!

Oh and the tiniest gingerbread man and choc chip cookie you've ever seen.

Rapunzel let down your hair!

When I came across this in my travels I knew it would be perfect for Grade 2 as they are looking at Fairytales. Plus it looked like so much fun...

Thanks for the inspiration

Here are some of my kiddies creations.

Hessian Sewing

 Simple sewing using large plastic needles, wool and natural hessian.

Who said sewing dead! I have to say this was one of Grade 3's favourite activities this term.

Basket Weaving

I love how these simple pre-cut cardboard baskets turned out. The feathers and skeleton leaves really give them that extra something.

The Circus is in Town!!

Who would of thought a paper bag could be so much fun. Grade 1 had a go a designing their own clown puppet from a simple paper lunch bag.

A few buttons, joggle eyes, pom poms and some material later you have a very cheap puppet to keep the kidlets entertained.
To continue our clown theme I also got the kids to make a drawing of their clown performing and painted them using watercolour paints. For the borders we used 'Paper Popz' decorations, patty pans and sequins.

Wire people

Here are some more amazing sculptures from my grade 4's. We used soft wire, seed beads and beading wire to make these figures. I attached some colourful wool to hang.

Lines, Zig zags and swirls

Prep have been exploring lines and mark making this term. We created these lovely pieces by combining oil pastels and food dye.

Rainbow Serpent

The kids had a lot of fun creating their own sgraffito pieces of art after reading 'The Rainbow Serpent'. First they coloured their paper using bright oil pastels, making sure ALL the paper was covered. Then the fun part, adding the black paint and letting their imaginations run wild.

Fireworks

BANG!!!!! Fireworks are one of those things that EVERYONE loves. Grade 1 created their own fireworks by simply using black paper, coloured match sticks and PVA glue.

Giacometti-Bodies in Motion

Grade 4 have been focusing on representing the human form in motion this term. We used the work of Alberto Giacometti to inspire us.

First the kids had to make a sketches from sports photography of their figures. Next they molded their figures from pipe cleaners and wrapped them in foil. To make the sculptures stronger the kids wrapped florist wire over the foil. We attached the sculptures to the wooden bases using magic clay.
