As  part of the Commonwealth Games celebrations Grade 4 and 5 chose Luna Park as their favourite icon.  Everyone had visited Luna Park and was familiar with “The Man in the Moon” face.

• We used papier mache masks, shoe boxes, cardboard cylinders and foam Christmas icicles.
• About four sessions were needed to secure all parts, paint and apply decorative paper and finishes.
• The children used photo references of Luna Park while we discussed how to exaggerate the facial features and decorative aspects of this much loved Melbourne icon.
