Room 14's Fabric Art

Room 14 had a great time completing this art project. It was a fantastic way to end a very busy term. We spent the bulk of the week doing this.
To start off with we experimented with a variety of ways of decorating fabric. We then experimented with stenciling onto paper. We spent a long time thinking about how we could improve our work before we printed onto fabric. It is harder than it looks!
To finish off our works of art some of us hand stitched out edges and some of us sewed around the edges using Francie’s sewing machine. Thanks Francie!
It was whacky hair day so we look a bit strange.


Fabric Art by Room 15

Room 15 had a fantastic last week of Term 3 - we spent the majority of the time doing ART! For this actvity we focused on stenciling on fabric. We started by dying our fabric then we made stencils from paper. VERY CAREFULLY, we stenciled our designs onto our fabric using paint. To finish it off we CAREFULLY hand-sewed around our edges.

Ancient Egyptian Wall Designs

As part of our studies this term we have viewed a lot of wall designs and have made our own. The wall designs showed what life was like in Ancient Egypt. You can see the fashion of the day and things people liked to do.  We think they look great!

Room1 Koru Patterns



We made these collage Koru patterns as part of our focus
on mixed media
artwork.
We observed palm fronds carefully and tore up and
pasted magazine pages to recreate the patterns we saw.

We hope you like them!
