Straw Weaving
Grade 3/4 students made a loom out of 4 drinking straws and used a variety of wool to weave on the loom. They could then choose to turn their finished weaving into a little creature, or keep it plain and use it as a bookmark. Finger knitting was a very popular early finisher activity this term!
Sidney Nolan and his Ned Kelly artworks
We shared the books 'Meet Ned Kelly' and 'Meet Sidney Nolan' during Art lessons and students then had a go at painting their own version of Nolan's Ned Kelly artwork. We talked about his use of colour, space and emphasis. Students used acrylic paints for their landscapes, while the shape of Ned Kelly was modelled using black magiclay.
