Our Sail Away Calendar Art

Room 9 have created these beautiful pieces of art. As a school, we do a calendar art fundraiser each year. There are many different products that you will be able to order. Each will be printed with the image of your child’s art piece. These make great Christmas presents for whanau as they can be easily posted. Great if your relatives live far away. 

 We used different techniques and materials to create our pictures. The first step was to create our skies. We dyed our background and then sprinkled salt on the wet dye to add a cloud like effect. 

To make the waves, we sponge painted our paper in different shades of purple, blue and green. Once dry, we ripped this paper into strips and glued it onto our piece. The white paper tear gives the effect of the wave caps. The next step was to make and decorate our sails, then position them above the boats and glue them into position.
