5/6 ~ Gifted and Talented Group ~ Canvas art


Have you seen the new artwork in the Office? The following Grade 5/6 students created these canvases as part of a Gifted and Talented Art Group in Term 3.

Artists: Kallarney, Olivia, Sasha, James, Harua, Evie, Lewis, Kaela V, Teig, Paislee, Ava and Siobhan.

We were inspired by the abstract art and collages of Rex Ray.



We began by printing a variety of textured papers using Gelli plates. Once these were dry, we cut them out in many shapes and sizes and collaged them onto a painted canvas. Here are some of our 'practice' canvases that are now on display in the Art Room.






And here are the 3 canvases that are now hanging proudly in the Office. They certainly brighten up the area!
