Characters to draw: This year we start off our Art program with making masks for the Carnevale parade. The parade is happening in week 4 and some of the classes have already started on their masks. We plan to have 2 to 3 lessons for making the masks and below you can find some links for the history of Carnevale and some images to help inspire your creations. There are some wonderful photographs of some [|Venetian masks] here. This page has great examples of how the masks combine with the costumes. media type="custom" key="24960478"

For Bookweek in 2010 the theme is 'Take a Journey **Across the story bridge** to the place that you write about or read about or draw about. I plan to make a giant paper/cardboard bridge on which we project images of students' art work. We will hve a Bookweek art competition and the 3 top artists in each class will have thier work projected onto the Story Bridge like the artist Laith McGregor did in Brisbane-see this video here: media type="custom" key="6608301"
