Spring flowers and butterflies

Our latest creations are inspired by Spring. We have created colourful sculptural flowers out of cardboard and then made our own lino print butterflies which are printed in bold colours. The butterflies are glued to wires and are flying around the flower.

You will see all our art work including painting, printmaking, sculpture, drawing and mixed media art projects from our art room as well as mosaic arts, scrapbooking, recycled art, and sewing samples from our dress making department. Come along and celebrate our artists hard work and success.

Outsider Art Exhibition

This year seven of our artists exhibited at the Outsider Arts Festival at the Helensville Art Centre. We chose to exhibit some of our cityscape art works. Here are some photos from the exhibition.

Abstract Mannequin Design

Nicole is our first artist to complete her abstract painted mannequin completed with fascinator. Nicole took Piet Mondrian as her artist model. This is one of his paintings below.

Nicole had fun trying out this new style of painting.

Nicole then translated what she learnt from the painting to her mannequin to produce this fabulous result.

Abstract Painting

We have been looking at a variety of artists who create abstract paintings. Each artist is taking one artist model to try and is applying some of the ideas and techniques used to create their own abstract art work. Each person is applying this artistic style to their own mannequin design and adding a fascinator or hat in the style of the abstract artist of their choice.

Winter Landscapes

Over the course of Winter we used the cold weather to inspire us to create some winter snowy landscapes. We thought about the kinds of animals and creatures that happily live in the snowy weather and incorporated these into our scenes.
