Imaginary Creatures!

The Prep and Grade One students have made some Imaginary Creatures!  To start the students used their hands and a range of art tools such as cardboard pieces, forks, rollers and sponges (no brushes) with paint to create some patterns on paper.  This experimenting included learning about mixing primary colours to make secondary colours and adding white to create different colours.   

Once these dried, the students chose a section they liked and ripped out a small part which was to be the body and starting point for their creature.  Once this was pasted on a white sheet of paper the students used a grey lead pencil to draw the rest of their creature using a range of lines, shapes and patterns. When they had finished the students came up with a name for their creature.  Some very creative work!
