We are on it again. Every year same same, every year a little different.
And I still never know who is who in this mythological world.

Here are some slap sculptures of moths and butterflies in make. I found this project on the wonderful blog of https://www.smallhandsbigart.com/.
Unfortunately we had no time to do sgraffito because there’s almost a month of holidays ahead of us so we had to decide between the paint or the pattern. And since the reliefs had to be wrapped in a foil we decided for the pattern.
Now if they don’t dry before we return we will do sgraffito on the plates.

While creating our poetry work for the March Madness call, we looked into the work of artist Tom Phillips, some pointillist painters and the movement itself.
In addition students worked on a poem build out of words written on the page of a book so it is coincidental sort of writing. It was quite an interesting work and the whole process of art is left to the children. Nice, open, free project.

Not the first time I am posting this sort of project but every time it is unique and I am impressed by the work. You can read about it in some posts bellow.

This sort of painting is quite an easy straightforward task as it comes with a reference. It was a fun project and kids were deeply into it.

In the PYP Unit we touched the topic of sustainability. Our key figure was Marina Strocchi, an Australian painter who uses divisions and patters in her paintings talking about land, harvest, ethnography, the coulours of dry land, red land, of home. I love her works to bits!
So the plan was to get inspired by Marina Strocchi and try to use this in our project of sustainable transportation. The work was clearly lined up:
1. Draw the city transportation just anywhere (students can rotate their paper throughout their work to get the “every direction” effect. Think about how the transportation moves from A to B. Draw the inside, think about machinery.)
2. Draw the ground. Roads, water…
3. Think background. We are in the city. We will use city patterns the way Strocchi uses her land patterns. So trash cans, city lights, mail boxes, birds, dog poo.. anything city like goes.
4. Divide the white in between the road areas. Liminal spaces. Fill them in with your patterns.
5. Trace the pencil with a stick and a black ink and then colour using red, blue and yellow ink.

Here we go again with beautiful printing. Again I love the printing plates more than the results. However this was fun as it always is.
We’ve made the printing plates out of various materials to leave various traces. We added all the colours at the same time. Because we don’t like to complicate.
