Birthday Card

This morning the art group worked together and made this card.
We were so pleased with it we almost didn't want to send it!
It is going to a gentleman who was involved in setting up our charity in the 1960's, to celebrate his 80th Birthday!
We chose a garden theme for the front of the card because growth is something that is very important to us!

3D chapter pictures

Today we made these fantastic 3D scenes inside boxes!

Each box contains a picture to go with one of the chapters from the book Alice in Wonderland.

We talked about perspective and tried to make our pictures have a fore and background!

We used a frame and stuck things onto it so that they were in the front of the picture, it took lots of planning and discussion, we sketched our ideas out first.

We got there in the end and as always we're thrilled with the results of our efforts!

who gives a hoot?

The rabbit in that beautiful wax resist collage certainly looks like it does!

Thoughts of half a world away...

Today it was so cold in our room.

We were glad it was a music and movement day so that we could keep warm!

There was a bit of moaning going on, until someone reminded us that on the other side of the world in Australia people are dying in terrible fires.

This picture was created after the artist visited his sister, who lives in Sydney. It is titled 'Harbour Bridge and Opera House'

We decided that not only should we stop complaining about the temperature in our room,

but that we should post this picture,

so that the people who's lives have been effected by these terrible fires

know that on the half the world away

we are thinking about them.
