Another Monday Morning
The first batch of Grade 12 PAT's are due this morning, and judging from the packeages lying around the classroom, it looks promising. As soon as we have some pics. they will be posted.
Onto more serious stuff:
Grade 9's are currently working on their compositional drawings. (Remember to bring THREE items from home) Don't bring anything too small or fiddly.
The Block Test is on 07/03. The complete set of notes you have been given is covered in the test.
Grade 10:
Thank you for the lovely posters for the Rape Crisis Centre at Port Shepstone Hospital. We hope to hand them over this week.
Great fun was had with our home-made paint project. Everyone had to make San art "tools" from natural materials such as twigs, feathers and quills. Ms Antelme and Mrs Rautenbach decended on Sheppie Greengrocers to look for potential pigments. We went there to buy beetroot and eggs and ended up with a box full of goodies ranging from Turmeric to Henna and other mysterious coloured powders and spices.
the powders were mixed with raw egg, water and coconut oil to make a wonderful thick paintlike substance. One should use linseed oil, but we were experimenting.
Grade 11's were thrown in at the deep end this year with new media. Charcoal and soft pastel have been dealt with and the next step is painting.

Open Day
Open day was well attended, and Ms Antelme had the busiest shift this morning. We have been Spring-Cleaning the Art Rooms and getting rid of years of junk and clutter. (Many of Mrs Rautenbach's past-pupils will be most relieved to hear...)
