Students are studying the artist Eric Carle. We looked at his books "Mister Seahorse," "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," and "The Very Busy Spider" and talked about how he created his own textured paper to create the collages in his books. One class focused on seahorses, another on butterflies, and yet another on tropical birds. First, students painted their paper using warm or cool colors. After each line of color was painted, students used tools or the wooden end of their paintbrushes to scratch textures or lines into the wet paint. Students who created seahorses painted wavy lines on another paper, then traced, cut out, and glued the seahorse shape to that background paper, while adding rocks and seaweed. Other classes created their butterflies and tropical birds in similar ways, adding glitter, sequin, and oil pastel details. Look for these at the annual Zilker School-wide Student Art Show in April!

Colin Wightman 'Optically Addicted' -- Penny Evans 'Spirit Ark Navigation by the Stars' -- Arone Meeks This work is based on navigation by the stars, the boat being both a symbolic vehicle to travel back to the dreaming in and a connection with country, spirit and place. Contained within this vessel are elements of my childhood - the figure with three dillybags, a guiding light (far left), my mother (far right) and the three mangrove men figures. These designs, like those below the boat in the water, are location markers. They talk
