Parent workshop!

Today a group of parents came to help make creatures for the Noah's Ark mural. They decorated tiles for the rainbow and in the afternoon made creatures out of clay and more tiles for the rainbow. I always enjoy the process of working with the grown-ups because they often frown and say ' oh I won't be very good at that,' and then they surprise themselves with their skills. Here's the proof!
Noah's Ark Mural The Noah's Ark Mural at Overnewton Anglican Community College is a ceramic mural that is being made by the artist Debbie Qadri with students at the Keilor Campus. All of the children from the Junior school as well as year 5's and some of the year 8's will be making a ceramic artwork to go into the mural. The mural design is a Noah’s Ark scene with the animals coming out of the Ark but set in the Keilor Valley. All of the animals in the scene will be native animals of Victoria

fresh out of the kiln!

Here are some of the artworks that the students have made. They came out of the kiln today! You can see that with the glaze and firing process that the colours come out bright and shiny. They will look fabulous on our wall.
