Last term, students in grades 1 & 2 learned about collage. These giraffe collages and birds were constructed using a
variety of materials such as torn paper, wool, pegs, buttons, feathers, hessian
and other decorative bits and pieces.
These artworks were created in two stages. Stage
one saw the grade 2 students creating a background for their piece by tearing
and sticking paper. Students then traced a stencil for the body and head of
their giraffe. Students learned how to create strips of paper for the legs by
folding, cutting and sticking strips to create a knee joint.
Stage two saw the grade 2 students exploring a
variety of materials to decorate their giraffe. Students used buttons and
feathers for eyes, pegs for antlers, hessian and wool for hair and torn pieces
of paper for the giraffe’s spots. Students in grade 1 then made beautiful birds
for our display using paper, buttons, feathers and split pins. These are on display now so make sure you have a look!
