TERM 1

3 February to 24 March

3 February - I’m Just Here for the Fun
Inspired by the The 50th Rio Tinto Yarwun & QAL Martin Hanson Memorial Award overall winner Sharlene Cheetham’s vibrant abstract painting, we’ll use bright fluoro paint and techniques such as scraping, scratching and rubbing to create bright textured paintings.

10 February –Big Hearts
Create big layered love-hearts to give to special people. Something to appeal for little boys too with lots of cutting, pasting, drawing and any colours you like!

17 February – Junky Sculptures
Using reclaimed packaging such as cardboard, egg cartons, small boxes, tubes, package inserts, lids etc we’ll have fun constructing, sticking and decorating to build up interesting sculptures.

24 February – Lots of Leaves!
Inspired by Geoff Head’s current exhibition Ground, with a variety of leaves, we’ll explore the art of ‘making rubbings’ using crayons and oil pastels with watercolour washes, to create beautiful textures.
