In early 2019, I spent a fortnight with fifteen Reception students at Investigator College in Victor Harbour, South Australia. Together we imagined and re-imagined Fantastic Animals. The children collaborated together in pairs, drawing wild and wacky creatures that could be printed using a silk screen. This was a new and exciting printmaking process for these young artists and their interest and engagement was enthusiastically sustained for the two week residency. Working with the multiple, each student was able to print enough images to share one with each of their classmates.
The Fantastic Animals project resulted in the making of a book for each student and two big-books for the classroom.
The concertina version of their book was exhibited in the 2019 SALA South Australian Living Artists Festival.
