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!
