Year 8 Story Quilts

Over the last 10 weeks the grade 8's have created class story quilts, inspired by the American Artist Faith Ringgold. Each student produced a square that represented something about themselves using cloth, pastels and fabric dye, they then sewed each peice together to create the patchwork quilt. The results are very colouful and are being displayed in their form rooms around the school.

Elementary Art Club

The Elementary Art club started their 1st project today. They looked at the Artist Henri Rousseau and created their own version of one of his paintings (above). Each leaf shows their blending techniques using oil pastels. I was really impressed with the enthusiasm and talent of each student and look forward to seeing how the project progresses. Well done!
