Works in progress- Year 6s have finished off the t

Works in progress- Year 6s have finished off the term working on a pet portrait. The only real criteria here is that the eyes need to be realistic and the rest is up to them if they want it to be realistic or more cartoonish (and there is a real range happening!)
This project is definitely helping me get to know the kids better, everyone loves talking about their furry friends! We will finish these at the start of next term.
Not sure what we will do with the backgrounds yet. Cut them out and stick onto a collaged background? Paint on a background? Finish with a simple charcoal background? 🤔 (Bonus picture of my housemate’s fluff ball😍)

A few of our finished Hundertwasser abstract Sydne

A few of our finished Hundertwasser abstract Sydney Harbour landscapes by Yr3s. These were a real feat to complete with sore hands from colouring and lots of markers going “to hospital” (in a milo tin to sit tip down to hopefully come back to life). The kids really enjoyed looking at Hundertwasser’s crazy buildings and unique paintings and loved his saying that “straight lines are the enemy of man” (maybe I made this quote up?! But it’s the vibe🤷🏼‍♀️). Mostly I’m just impressed the kids can remember his name 🤪

More of these delish rarrk backgrounds. We ended up swapping to chalk pastels instead of oils for their vibrancy. Absolutely loving them and almost don’t want to stick anything in front of them!

I’m having a real ‘should we outline with mark

I’m having a real ‘should we outline with markers or not?!’ dilemma. On the one hand, it would help give a bit of definition. But also I’m worried it may ruin the effect of what has already been done.
These are some of my faves of the bunch!

Ok I would legitimately love to hang a big version of this in my home 😍 These colour choices! 🙌🏻👌🏻

Year 4s have started on making their rarrk backgrounds. Rarrk is a crosshatching Aboriginal art style from Arnhem Land. The fine parallel lines were traditionally painted with tall grasses. Here we are working with oil pastels- I can’t even imagine how hard this would be to do with grass!
