How plants and animals survive in the forest

Room 1 Fabric & Fibre Art

Last term we found natural materials on our forest floor to create our fabric and fibre artwork.  

We placed our natural treasures on a piece of fabric, took photos using an ipad and then we returned our materials to the forest floor.  

My art  is a  catapult. I  found  berries and a  flat  piece of wood in the forest.

Room 1's Fabric & Fibre Art work

I made a person.   It  is a face.  There is a skeleton leaf on top  of  the  leaf. By Artus
