For part of the year 3 art unit at Rochedale SS we did some fun workshops today! We discussed having #enthusiasm for things, and incorporated things we were enthusiastic about into some pretty unique surreal/silly self portraits. This chat included the idea that while we often think of our looks in self portraiture, our focus today was on things about us on the inside, like qualities and interests. Also, absurdity was obviously strongly condoned, as is usual. Two standouts from today: the year 3 cohort were incredibly well behaved!! So impressed. And 2: a student asked me, quite sincerely, if I was friends with Picasso. 😂 #iwish #kidsart #reflecting #absurd #prismacolor #fluro #artists #nonsense #process #fun #sillinessallowed #picasso #drawing #kidsarehilarious #lovinglife
This week was my final visit to Grand Ave OSHC for a little while (due to other commitments and then a holiday!!!) and I wanted to acknowledge how hard students have worked in my workshops and to thank them for participating. So they all got a little gift and we focussed on #zentangles (basically fancy scribbling... but that’s cool, anyone can do it) and #thankfulness. We thought about who in our lives we were thankful for - some students made postcards for their siblings, or teachers or parents. And I got a couple too 😂 been so wonderful getting to know students over the last couple of years and see how they’ve progressed and changed as people and in their art making. Love it. 😄🎉✏️📝🎨 #thankyou #reflecting #brisbaneart #art #workshop #grateful #postcard

This week @renee_kh94 @aharps16 and I had a go at #diy #polymerclay #earrings.. fun until we realised we didn’t have the right rings or backs to finish them off 😂 rookie error but 💯 good times. I can’t wait to wear my imperfect, fingerprint covered, quirky earrings 🤪😊#craft #fun #brisbaneart
In today’s Grand Ave art workshop we chatted about all the #jacaranda trees we’ve been noticing! Some different techniques with pastels today. #kidsart #relaxingart #lovinglife #trees #prismacolor #pastel #drawing

Today at Grand Ave OSHC we created funky flower pots. We talked particularly about patterns and different shapes (and how art doesn’t have to be perfect) and also we had some quirky flower inventions in the group today too! #flowerpot #pastels #artworkshop #flowers #inventing #lovinglife
Sometimes when “a thing” happens it can be disorienting when you thought you were going one way.. but can actually lead you to much more interesting paths.. #brisbaneart #unexpected #thing #uniplacement #change #cliff #experience #adapting #watercolour #lovinglife
