Snake Skins & Seaweed!

Great for inspiration is the snake skin in the tray, seaweed on the shelf, shorn wool in the tub and shells in the basket. These materials were all donated or simply found in nature, collected on bushwalks, farm visits and trips to the beach. The students love (and sometimes not!) the feel and smell of this wonderful collection in the room. The snake skin can be used as inspiration for becoming aware of and creating the wonderful patterns in nature. The shells and seaweed just fabulous for observational drawing and mixed media artworks. As for the freshly shorn wool...well it feels really unique!
