Prep ~ Rhyme Time!!

Preps have been developing lots of different skills in Art this term, linking in with their classroom topic of Rhyme Time. We enjoyed reading and singing The Owl and the Pussycat, as well as our favourite, Incy Wincy Spider.


To create their Owl and the Pussycat artworks, students used oil pastels and watercolour paints to create a resist background. Then they created a collage of torn 'pea green' papers for their boats. Finally, students drew their owl and pussycat, cut them out and glued them down. Lots of different techniques explored and they look amazing!




To create their incy wincy spiders, students painted a paper plate and then threaded string through the holes in the plates - just like weaving a web. This was tricky, but everyone did such a great job. Our 'incy wincies' were made by painting egg cartons and adding details. Great work Preps! Now we are learning all about Vincent Van Gogh.
