These works are of a Grade 1. I know!!!

Spring is time for still lifes
We researched vitamins and minerals in connection to our unit of inquiry ‘healthy choices’. In the end we decided not to take it too serious and just make a bit of veggie jokes where a tomato driven by a car becomes a ketchup and a banana can and will not return because it is after all really not a boomerang. It was real fun and the works are beautiful.
Giacometti was here!
20 small fingers and 10 clever heads were working hard to make these beautiful statues.
We talked about Giacometti and we tried various techniques for this project. Also clay, if only to learn we don’t come third as high as Giacometti’s figures are.
This surfers are made out of wire which children taped to get a bit of a volume. Next step is wrapping plaster bandages around the wire bodies. This part was fun and messy. We then fixed them on a wooden surfaces and they painted them with black ink. The colour on still wet base becomes nicely rustic. Children also made silhuets of their sculptures out of black paper.
See the beautiful connections between the 3D objects and the silhuetes.
I find them so sooo nice I just have to upload all of the photos! Happy surfing guys!
