Art Program s2 Birds

The document outlines a two-stage art program focusing on birds in design for Stage 2 students. [1] In the first stage, students will extend and repeat bird icons and symbols using artline pen and watercolors to create a balanced collage-style piece influenced by the artist Imants Tiller. [2] The second stage has students creating a collage "zig zag book" telling a narrative story of birds using cut paper teardrop shapes for the birds' bodies and details added in pen. The program aims to develop students' artistic skills through close observation and manipulation of materials to represent subject matter.
