This project has been designed to suit normal classroom conditions and illustrates how the classroom can be adapted to create the working space required.
Young students express their thoughts, ideas and feelings about themselves and at the same time they develop their own symbols and techniques to create self portraits.
Objective
Create a self portrait based on ideas such as self esteem, identity, intimacy, heritage, ancestry and cultural background using charcoal sticks and paint.

This project is designed to suit normal classroom conditions and illustrates how to adapt the classroom to create the working space required.
Puppetry is sometimes neglected by teachers as planning and sourcing materials takes some time, but this can be solved by planning ahead and by asking parents to contribute recyclable materials in advance.
Textile puppet making is suitable for any age group, as the techniques can be adapted to different levels of ability. For very young children it is advisable to have a couple of parents come to the classroom to assist.
Objective
• To provide students with the steps involved in making a 3D puppet from idea through to end product
This collage project is inspired by the work Eric Carle—author and Illustrator of many children’s picture books. Eric Carle uses paper collage to illustrate his books by painting and decorating his own assortment of cut paper. His most popular book is called “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, which has been translated into many different languages for young children all over the world.
I had the opportunity to present “The Art of Eric Carle” at the 1998 “Out of the Box Children Festival” in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The former Director of the Festival Cate Fowler, commissioned me to produce an activity involving collage, inspired by the books of Eric Carle, to be implemented during the week-long Festival.
7000 young children from three to eight years of age participated in the art experience.
After years of successfully teaching this project in my own studio classroom and in primary schools, I have decided to make this tutorial available as Eric Carle’s books are still very popular with teachers to engage young children in reading and art.
Objectives
Collage is an art activity using coloured papers that children love. This project gives the students the opportunity to prepare their own papers, engaging in painting and decorating, cutting , gluing and creating an image involving shapes.
