During this term 5S students enthusiastically created and enjoyed making artworks for our annual Art Expo. Using the technique of paper quilling, students created a range of owl, car and flower designs. They used great technique and artistic flair to form coils of different shapes and sizes, composing them together to form their designs. 5S were very excited to present their artworks in the Art Expo last week, being very proud of their hard work and creative effort.
