Spring-time at Kings Park

Today it finally stopped raining so we went to Kings Park to see the spring flowers and to play in the newly renovated Naturescape. The children loved the new cubby sculptures and the improved climbing ropes. It was even just about warm enough to get into the stream for dam building.

Marzipan Fruits

Lately L is getting into homemade sweets. We've had toffee and fudge; which were both delicious. This week she made marzipan from scratch and then shaped it into these fruits. Yum!

A 3D Hole?

This week we made these 3D holes in our paper with another tutorial from Circle Line Art School.

Sculptures and Stuffed Things

Today we finally got some sunshine so we took a trip to the Swan Valley for some sculptures and stuffed things!

First up was the Gomboc Sculpture Park. The kids had a great time wandering among the sculptures and visiting the gallery exhibition. One of our favourites was a huge crushed drink can, with a toilet seat for a ring pull. It was actually a mini house!

In the afternoon we visited historic Guildford for the Natural History Museum. We enjoyed exploring the cabinets and hidden crevices of the museum to discover all sorts of random stuffed animals, fossils, shells and skeletons. We never did found out who these severed hands belonged to.

Perspective Drawing

By R

Today we were using tutorials from Circle Line Art School to draw these 1 point perspective buildings. These took a long time to draw and we didn't get onto shading them yet.
