In August this term we will have Science week in week 4 followed by Book week in week 5. The theme for Science Week is "React to Chemistry" and to narrow this down for the art competition I have asked for a focus on [|salt] in our everyday lives and in our environment. There are some great [|magnified images] of salt and we will be taking our own digital microscopic images of salt in different forms. Here is a [|Japanese artist's] creations using salt. Another web site shows the process of making a [|water colour painting using salt effects]. Here is the Power Point Presentation of the winning entries and I am distributing the awards in the next few days. How to make [|salt crystal paint].

In Book Week year 5, 6, and 7 are drawing black and white images of Moby Dick inspired by the State Opera poster of the operatic version of the famous novel about Moby Dick. See the movie trailer for [|2010] here and the [|TV series] here. media type="youtube" key="S3JHuxh2awU" height="275" width="327"

Some animals and plants need salt to live the sharks that live in he waters around the [|Torres Strait Islands]have an old story and art that go with it see Alick Tipoti's shark painting and story attached to it. This is an R-7 competition that can meet outcomes in areas such as Science and SOSE and Religious Education in being **Stewards of Creation.**

From 2010: In week 6 we will be celebrating Book Week with an installation video art show in the library. This will consist of a large 3D bridge upon which I will project student work from the Book Week Art Competition 2010. Here is the PPP so far-82 works have been scanned about 5 to go...Congratulations boys-great work!

The top 5 student work samples will be put into a Power Point Presentation and projected onto the bridge. Entries are due in by Monday the 23rd August-no later!
