Paola Balla at Mother of God School

Here's a little glimpse of what Paola Balla is making with the children at Mother of God School at Ardeer.
This is Bunjil's nest, which she made with the children last Tuesday. It was brought out to be part of a smking ceremony for a mural that the children made recently to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, the Wurundjeri People. The children were very proud of this nest that they have made with Paola.

Sunshine Harvester School - growing beanbags

At Sunshine Harvester Primary School, we have been trying out various ways of printing onto fabric which explore ideas of growing with the artist Charlotte Clemens.
We used fabric textas to draw about growing and then we made sponge shapes of animals to print. We used leaves and stencils to make other sorts of prints.

These pieces of fabric will be made into beanbags by Charlotte and Debbie.
Then they will go on tour to the libraries and come back to Sunshine Harvester School so the grade two students who made them will be able to sit on them and enjoy their artwork.
