We will be working on a longer-term project that will take six weeks to complete. Even though they won’t have an art piece to bring home every week, the learning in this project is incredibly varied, deep and rewarding. They will be experiencing such things as painting expressively to music, experimenting with what media works well with oil resist method, painting eyes, collaging and much more. At the end of the project, they will proudly bring home a piece that has taken a lot of effort and joy to create. In addition, they may create another piece in the term, depending on the time taken to complete the main work. If both works are completed, the students will bring home:
· An adorable animal collage
· A cotton bud loom
