Babushkas!

Students in Grade 3 and 4 have loved designing their own contemporary babushka doll sets.

Each 1 is unique and have been created using water colour pencils and fine liner. Students have themes including Super Heroes, the Incredibles, The Adams Family, Robots and many many more!

Students explored the tradition of Russian Nesting Dolls and the way the craft has spread globally. After much research students devised their own unique babushka sets.

As more are completed I'll post them too.

Scream!

My Grade 1 and 2's had so much fun exploring Munch's Scream, discussing their reaction and observations and creating their own personal scream works.

This isn't the most original lesson idea but it was the first time I'd done it. What I was amazed at was the reaction of students from all ages to the displays around the school. Having uniquely animated faces of students was a real crowd pleaser. Munch would be proud!
