Brilliant Barcelona

Barcelona in the Summer...wonderful art and architecture! Endless possibilities to be inspired :)

Museum of Contemporary Art Brisbane

Love this indigenous mask. Great to kick start an inquiry into mask making. Always a hit!

Where the rainforest meets the sea

Jeannie Baker's wonderful stories make perfect links for inspiration in Visual Arts. This is The Daintree at Cape Tribulation which is the setting for her story. The REAL "Where the rainforest meets the sea". Such a beautiful place.

Warm up winter : collaborative artmaking

Promote working collaboratively by providing bright coloured papers and card to produce effective communal mixed media artworks. Students overlap shapes and colours creating a balanced design. Finish with fluorescent and glitter paints squeezed from a bottle in petal patterns. This is a great activity to encourage communal decision making and working together in harmony.

Links to Literature

For younger students read the story "Where The Wild Things Are" to inspire wonderful drawings. This Wild Thing was drawn in pencil, outlined in black pastel and coloured in watercolour. Easy, creative and fun!
