Papier Mâché Masterpieces

Year 7 students at Ingham State High School have showcased their artistic talents in a vibrant display of creativity, presenting their completed papier mâché animal sculptures during a whole-school assembly held in the final week of Term 1.

The sculptures represent the culmination of a term-long Visual Arts unit, during which students completed their research into their animal including habitat, before finally creating a design sketch and constructing and painting their papier mâché’ sculpture.

Students drew inspiration from renowned First Nations artist Craig Koomeeta, exploring cultural motifs and visual storytelling and then incorporating these influences into their own unique creations.

The finished pieces are a fantastic showcase of the skills and techniques they have developed throughout the term, highlighting the importance of arts education in fostering confidence and self-expression!
