These art works were created by painting a spider habitat of the child's choice onto an already underpainted piece of paper. On to the habitat each child drew a spider web with a gold or silver pen. The spiders were drawn onto paper that was cut into a stencil by an adult.
The spider was then printed onto the web.
All artworks were displayed in our Spider exhibition which was visited by
many families and friends of the children.
Have a look at http://kidsatkindy.blogspot.com for the context
in which these art works were developed.
These spider art works are SORT of in alphabetical order according to their first name!
