Beginning and End

Symbols of Beginning and End

This week, we have turned ordinary muesli bar boxes into canvases.
First, we dissembled our boxes, turned them inside out, and glued them back together again.  We then sealed and painted the boxes white to create a surface for painting on.


We then chose whether to paint a scene from the beginning or end of the life of Jesus.  We experimented with colour blending and shading.  These are our finished canvases.

Maori Symbols

As part of our study of symbolism, we have made Maori symbols using plaster of Paris. We use playdough to make a mould then filled the mould with the plaster. Once it was dry, we painted our symbols. We also found out about what the symbols meant to Maori.
