Year 8 student progress on large creatures for the mural

The year 8 students are working with Debbie and Ms Zaghis to create the larger creatures and Noah's ark and his family for the mural. Here are some photos of the progress so far.

Year 8 muralists make ceramic tile paintings for the mural

First day of artist in residence program with year 8 students. We spent a lesson discussing the project and how the mural will be made. In the afternoon the students painted a creature onto a tile for the rainbow. We also began making some letters for the text that will go in the mural. The students used a plaster mould of letters cast from a chocolate mould. They pushed the clay in and them gently pulled it back out with a fork. Have a look at what they did!

3C make birds

3 C made some lovely birds today for the mural. They are very gorgeous and the textures of feathers and fluff were made in a very detailed manner.

4L make small creatures - mainly snakes and lizards

Look at all of these wonderful snakes and lizards! 4L were the best listeners so far and because they listened carefully to instructions, they were able to make these wonderful creatures. There was also another creature in the classroom today, a visitor to bookweek! You will see in some of these photos, how we made the textures of the scaly skin for the lizards and snakes.
