Finger Painted Flower Pots

Students in Prep have completed their first painting project for the year. These are our colourful finger painted flower pots!

The Preps created these using a paintbrush to paint a basic shape for the pot, and their fingers to paint the rest. We learnt about different ways to use our fingertips to make special marks on our paper that look like flowers. Can you spot the daffodils and tulips in our paintings?

What a fantastic effort for your first painting at school Preps, well done!









Shape Birds

These bright and colourful shape birds were created using fine liner pens and paint by our delightful grade one students.

We began this project by looking at pictures of birds and examples of different ways to draw their features. We discussed some shapes that we know such as circles, triangles, rectangles, squares...the list goes on! Students then decided how they wanted their bird to look and drew basic shapes for the body, head, beak and feathers. They filled their birds with outlines of their favourite shapes. Finally, students decorated their birds using all the colours of the rainbow!

We think they are just beautiful. Well done grade one!
