Communicating Through the Arts - Native Habitats

One of the wonderful ways to share our learning is by using the Arts. We have been practising the visual arts skills of using a foreground and background to place our arts elements (our ideas). Our elements were some of the connections between our native birds and the plants in their habitats. Some birds have a very important role in the health of our forests as they help to spread the seeds of the berries they eat. 

We researched our birds and made some drafts first. Then we practised placing our birds and plants in the foreground of the picture.

Here are some of the art works we created using watercolour for the background and pastels for the foreground. You can come in and have a look at our display on the walls!
