The Terrific Twos are Artists

Shhh… don’t tell our teacher! We are secretly using her computer to tell you about our Art lessons while she is busy helping someone with their glue.

In Art we have been learning about collages and our focus artist is Megan Coyle. We looked carefully at how she layers and overlaps small pieces of paper to create detailed pictures.

We went outside to study the big tree in the junior playground. We noticed the shapes of the branches, the patterns in the bark and the different colours on the leaves. Back in class, we created our own tree collages by tearing, cutting and layering paper in different shades and textures, just like Megan Coyle. We even collected and added real leaves to our artwork to make our collages look more realistic.

The classroom was covered in tiny scraps of paper by the end of the lesson, so we are trying to finish this before teacher comes back and notices we borrowed her computer!
