Year 2 Edge Printing in Fluorescent Acrylic

Prep & Year 1 Magiclay Toothpots

Magiclay is a type of smooth, white modelling clay made of paper. It is easily molded by little fingers and looks a bit like marshmallow. Students made their toothpot and then painted it with pearl acrylic paint the following week. They were very excited about having this very handy pot on their bedside table to hold a tooth when necessary!

Year 2 Design Challenge

Grade 2B worked in groups and designed a Play Center, a Museum, a City and a Village using a variety of building materials. Some designers became frustrated when structures fell, but remembering our "beautiful oops" art room philosophy, they soon recovered, redesigned and rebuilt.

Year 3 Stoneware Handmolded Clay Penguins

These penguins will spend 2 weeks drying out before going into the kiln. Here's hoping that the joins hold and their wings and feet stay attached!

Years 5 & 6 Cityscape Monoprint

Students first painted their background in a dye wash. The following week they painted their buildings on the top half of the paper and then folded it to achieve a print. It was a tricky process getting the paint at just the right consistency with the correct amount of water to achieve a print. Students persevered with wonderful results!
