Art exhibition
Room 24 have created animals that live in Peru.
First we needed to research which animals come from Peru.
We discovered that Peru has many different animals,
many of which live in the Amazon Rainforest. We liked Jaguars, snakes, sloths,
macaws, llamas and Andean mountain cats.
Once the children choose their favourite creature
we created our base sculpture.
Lots of laughter and lots of perseverance went
into making our sculptures.
Our next step was to paper mache over the top of
the base sculptures. The glue felt slimy and gross!
We needed to do three layers of paper. 1 newspaper
and 2 tissue layers.
Once the paper Mache was dry we painted a couple
of layers of the base colour of paint. Then we added the different colours and
extras like whiskers and eyes.
During our learning about Peru and its animals we
learnt some very interesting facts.
Did you know…
3 toed sloths are the slowest land mammal in the
world!
2 toed sloths are nocturnal (they come out at
night time)
The jaguar is the third largest cat species in the
world!
The jaguar’s fur is covered with rosettes for
camouflage in the soft, dappled light of it’s forest habitat.
A jaguar’s spots are as individual as a
fingerprint. No jaguar is the same!
Llamas are a part of the camel family.
A llama’s wool is very soft, light, warm and water
repellent.
Watch out – when a llama is angry it will spit!
Here are the finished products.
