Students produced art works for our biennial Art Show 2005. No particular theme was chosen, but a carnival like atmosphere was created on Opening Night.

Year 5

• A brief history of the making & uses of felt was discussed using 'How to Make Felt" by Anne Belgrave & 'Felt Work' by Victoria Brown as resources.
• We followed the Zart notes on felting, students used wool tops, wool and coloured felt pieces to create a picture.
• Embroidery threads, sequins & beads were used to add detail to students work.

Year 4

• We looked at the black & white prints of M.C Echer (29 Master Prints)
• Students experimented with different designs of their choice by using pencil on black paper.
• The importance of both positive & negative shapes/areas was discussed in detail
• Once students had a design they were happy with, they used compasses to scratch the design out using black 'scratch back' cardboard.

Preps

• After a discussion about family members, students drew all the members of their family using black fine-liners on white cartridge.
• On a separate piece of paper, using a black permanent marker, students drew a self - portrait. Year 5 & 6 helped by cutting out student's portraits.
