Laurel Burch Inspired Cats

Students in Prep have been learning how to draw and make cats in art as part of their unit on pets. We looked at pictures and read stories about cats and discussed their features. We also looked at the work of Laurel Burch, who paints very brightly coloured and unique looking cats with lines and patterns.
Students began this project by painting flowers and leaves for their background. Once dry, students cut out their flowers and leaves and added black outlines using an oil pastel. On a coloured paper bag, students were shown how to create a cat face by cutting and sticking eyes and painting other details. Students also added paper strips for decoration to the body, as well as whiskers and ears. This was our first collage project for the year, incorporating a range of materials and techniques. Well done, Preps!
