3/4 ~ Marine Life

This term, the 3/4 students have been very busy in the Art room creating a variety of works based around their topic of Marine Life.

As a collaborative project, they worked in small groups to design and make a colourful mosaic. This involved cutting tiles (while wearing protective safety gear of course!), gluing down the tesserae (the cut tiles) and shells on the sketched design, grouting the piece and then sealing the grout.

The final artworks look fantastic and are now on display in the Art Room windows (facing out to the prep playground).








Students also created some marine life block prints using styrofoam printing plates, as well as making some gorgeous jellyfish artworks using paints and chalk pastels. Well done 3/4s!
