Natures found objects

We call ourselves the Assemblage Sisters because For The Love Art and Sharing our Passion for Art Sisters Just wasn't that catchy.

Preparing for a nature based art project last week we came across the fallen branch of a Banksia integrifolia, Coastal Banksia. The branch was laden with dried cones. The tree looked a bit dismal and was surrounded by concrete. We managed to fill a shopping bag with cones and clear the footpath.

Nature provides some wonderful materials to use is drawing classes, installations and assemblages.

The process of making art. Lessons in life.

Inspired by stained glass windows, L aged 7, has planned and created this pony painting. Taking time to arrange ideas and organise materials before realising the final art work is an important and transferable skill. Children often rush their work because adults rush them. Let's give them time to learn and enjoy the process. Here L has also learned about colour mixing and values, composition, brush techniques. ...and had fun doing it.

Cosmic Capers Summer 2024

Cosmic Capers . Space kitties. Rocket ships. Experimenting with paint. Electric erasers. That's a wrap for the Summer holidays.

Term 2 Wrap

A fun way to end term 2 after school art class. The students asked if they could paint on canvas. They agreed on a lily pad and koi painting. This is the work of K, aged 9. Our class is growing and we are having so much fun. Can't wait to see what art adventures next term brings. This was a guided painting lesson. While student led individual designs are celebrated in the studio, this activity allows me to demonstrate brush techniques and paint application. The students report that they enjoy using "real" paint brushes and mixing paint. The photo is a little washed out as one of the studio lights was off.
