This was a collaborative project I did with one of the Science teachers at my school. He was teaching his kids about food chains and wanted an art project to go along with it. He found THIS image via Pinterest as initial inspiration for the project. UPDATE: The poster was designed by art director and illustrator Dhanashri Ubhayakar for the magazine Sanctuary Asia, an Indian nature and wildlife conservation magazine. I turned the digital image into a collage project using construction paper. I used 12 x 18" construction paper. Have a background colour (in my case, turquoise). Then start with your largest animal (the top predator, I guess... the Science teacher explained this part to the kids, heh, heh) I folded my paper vertically so I only had to draw half the polar bear and it also made it symmetrical. I collaged on the eyes, nose and teeth from scraps of paper. Then make all the other animals slightly smaller... My messy workspace below.... Ok- once you have all the animals (our students were required to have 3 animals plus a plant) it's time to layer them and glue it all together. This took some fiddling and such, but I found it easiest to lay it all out and then start from gluing the smallest middle part first (the plant- I lost my mini tree) and work your way up. I used dots of white glue. It went faster than using a glue stick. Grade 7 student results!

Prepare yourself to enter into the surreal world of colour and strange delights in Hannah Yata's upcoming solo show at Phaneros Art Gallery. These pieces are undeniably some of Hannah’s most interesting and incredible pieces. Staying true to the always recognisable characteristic of her older works and narration of her pieces, she has explored, for this show the 'story of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the sacred garden and the great divorce that happened between humans and their relationship to the earth.' These hypnotising paintings are full of mystical sensuality, an exploration that takes us deep into forest climates and unseen worlds, a close up perspective of nature adorned and presented in her full costume. Almost as though we, as humans are too small to appreciate the vastness and beauty hidden within....but if we

This is fair trade fortnight and on Friday we are gong into some schools to teach the children about fair trade, linking it to to Jesus' message of freedom and good news for the poor and oppressed (see Luke 4, where Jesus quotes Isaiah 61) and what Christians believe about behaving justly. As a fun way in to thinking about fair trade and ideas of fairness in general, here's an easy game to play! You will need: A game sheet per child, dice (one per pair or 3 is good) Click here to print off a sheet with 2 game sheets on it, as below. Children work in pairs or 3s to throw the die, but have their own individual sheet to colour in. Children in a pair/ 3 take it in turns to throw the die. Colour in a section of the Fair Trade symbol according to the number thrown. Eg. If you throw a 2, colour in a section with a 2 inside it. If you throw a number , but have already coloured in all that number's sections, you will have to wait until your next throw! The first person to colour in all the sections on their sheet is the winner. This game helps to introduce the fair trade symbol which looks a bit like a person with their hand in the air to say they agree and want to join in. It also helps to think about issues of fairness, but quite subtly. How fair is the game itself? Some numbers appear more often than others do. Does this make a difference? Have fun!
