Inspiration: These ships were inspired by the work of New York artist Ann Wood whose ships I love! I tweaked one of her ship templates to make it a little more 'kid friendly'.
These were made by grade 6 and 7 students to look a little like the First Fleet of European ships to colonize Australia. They took many weeks of paper mache-ing (?) and construction and they still don't look as good as I would like - but there's only so far you can take things sometimes!
These are MAGNIFICENT!!
ReplyDeleteI think they did very well!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use as base-form to construct around? Cardboard?
Good on you kids, they look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYay! Ann Wood likes them :)
ReplyDeleteBlue-bird - yes they used cardboard from cereal boxes, taped up, then paper mache.
THey did great- their teacher has brilliant Ideas and she worries too much!
