Arty kids classes were held for 3 days in the first week of the Sept school holidays.
The children came for 2 hours each morning and we worked them hard! They kept us busy too!
We did drawing exercises each day and also made some colourful screen prints.
We forgot to photograph the screen prints so if you ' Sept 08 arty kids' would email a photograph of your screen print to us we will add it to our blog!

These are run by Michelle Johnston from St AndrewsEpsom ECC. Most of these children are graduates of St AndrewsEpsom ECC. See our website for more info about our centre www.standrewsepsom.co.nz

Fale screen prints term 2 2008
As you scroll through these screen prints if you look carefully you can find elements of the Samoan fale the high curved roof to allow air to circulate and create a cool atmosphere, the posts holding the roof up, and if you're lucky you might spot a raised floor here and there.
Keep your eye open for some roofs decorated with tropical flowers too.
These screen prints were created by children age 2, 3, and 4.
The screen prints were created by making stencils out of observational drawings of small wooden fales.
Most of the children chose to do two layers of paint - sometime registering the stencils perfectly, sometimes choosing deliberately not to.
The art works were finished with adding details in black, silver or gold pens. They look great in real life!

It sounds like you had a wonderfully creative time! I just came across this website which might be interesting for you to have a look at. I haven't had the opportunity to search all of the links....
