Thinking Outside the Cage

Latest art activity involves students thinking outside the square, by thinking outside the cage. The activity helps students to develop their fine motor skills and they are only limited by their imagination. They are using pen knives and cutting mats to cut out a cage stencil and then develop the theme as they wish.  I took a plant in cage into the classroom as inspiration.

Animals Up Close - Pastels Unit

This unit will be ongoing for a couple of terms as only two students at a time work away in the art area with the odd small amount of advice. The finished pieces are quite large, about A1,  size so they are very striking staring out of the grey walls. So far so good.

Mondrian art pieces

Our current art work focus is on Piet Mondrian. Students have used his works as inspiration for their own.
