Welcome to Term 4 Art at SMC!

We will start the term by involving ourselves in Asian art as the OzAsia festival is currently running in Adelaide. Some of the classes will be making moon lanterns, festival posters, ink landscape painting, blue willow plates (Task sheet) and lion dancing puppets. [|Glue batiks]

A resource kit from the Festival Centre can be viewed here that shows examples of moon lanterns and some useful links inside.

Watch this space for photos and for Internet links to research Chinese ink painting and stories that relate to cultural traditions such as the Lion dance and the [|Willow Plate Legend]. Create your name in [|Chinese writing].

The year 5's will be making [|Chinese Zodiac] seals today. To find out the animal for the year you were born [|go here]. Here is a link to some interesting symbols of luck and guardians for various things. I have noticed that some year 5's like to draw [|emperors and warriors] as well and there are some good images on this site to copy for be inspired by.
