Continuous Line Sculptures

Year 5 have extended their skills on continuous line drawing further by creating light bulbs using rainbow wire.

Rainbow wire is colourful, soft to bend and a great resources for art.

It was Year 5's first time using rainbow wire. 

At times, the students found the bending and twisting of the wire a challenge but having doing a warm up continuous line drawing at the beginning of the lesson definitely helped.

Despite the initial challenge, Year 5 did really well.

                               

Apples

Kindergarten drew apples and painted them with watercolours. 
Some students draw the apple whole, others drew the apples cut in half, revealing the seeds inside. 
Once dry, the students added highlights (shiny spots!) with chalk pastel.
The apples and a strip of calico, to represent an apple basket, were glued to green or red paper.

Under The Microscope

Year 5 created an artwork depicting microorganisms under the microscope. The work was completed on Scratch Paper which uses a pointy tool to scratch black film off the paper, revealing white underneath. Year 5 did very intricate patterns and abstract cells which look sensational. Great work Year 5!
