Bottle top Printing on T-Shirts

It was fun creating our own designer T-Shirts...there ain't one just like it on the entire planet, cos we made them ourselves! The range includes pretty flowers, lovely hearts, beautiful butterflies, cute caterpillars, wacky patterns and groovy initials...some even come with fringed sleeves!

Pressing bottle tops on the T-Shirt's hem...the trick is in the detail!

Creating flowers using bottle tops, a pop-sickle edge for the stalk...and some fingers (naturally!)

Jazzing up an old T-Shirt...a cute caterpillar goes up the neckline

Some cool designs and initials...

Inky drawings of a Secret Garden

We got inspired by the lovely and intricate drawings created with just a black pen- drawings of flowers, dragonflies and other insects, leaves, twigs, trees, pretty gazebos and lots of other detailed items one finds in a garden. The children were encouraged to add their own details and patterns, and also to zoom into a particular area of the whole picture.

Here is what they look like now...more details and work to be continued next week!

New Baby Button Cards

Celebrating the birth of a new child using buttons, and hot air balloons!!

Adding a cute note inside...

Vivid colous...

Yellon and green... who knows if it's a baby girl or a baby boy? :)

Baby Girl!

Under the water, no matter the weather!

This week's art piece had a twist..The kids had a go at turning themselves in mermaids, sharks, divers peering out of submarines...any thing they could have imagined if they live under the water, if the opportunity arises! :) Mixed media was used on painted paper which was painted the week before.

Next week: Underwater Scene, in which our prortrait will play an important part! :)

Creating the background in watery paint for next week's project. Printing scrunched-up newspaper whilst the paint is still wet to create interesting marks. Stay tuned to see what turns out after next week's lesson!

Ceramic Painting

Whilst our terracotta creations are away for the firing, we have dug into another project. This time we gave a groovy look to a plain ceramic piece, be it a plate, a mug or a bowl! Ceramic paints were used, as well as ceramic paint markers, which lent themselves to creating different features. Objects such as sponges, cotton buds, matches and toothpicks were used for different sizes and types of mark-making.

Remember, 3 days to set and the children can use these masterpiece sin the kitchen! :)

Birds of a Feather

Creating a scene on coloured paper, using circles and spirals, alternating colours between sky and tree-trunk to create contrast. Lines were added to bind the circles together. Change of colours on coloured paper was observed. Coloured feathers added the fine touvh to our birds!
