Have a look at our amazing rainforest artwork! Click below to see more of our paintings and to learn how we created them…
Over the past few weeks, we have been creating rainforest painting compositions in stages. First, we painted a pale green background, and on top of this, some leaves in various shades of green. Next, we chose and painted our rainforest animals. We used feathers to add texture to our birds. Finally, we created, or found from nature: branches, flowers and more leaves, and arranged them into our final composition. We used some foam squares behind some parts to add a 3 dimensional effect.
View our rainforest artwork slideshow and listen to us playing some rainforest sounds. It takes a little while to download – but it is well worth the wait!
We hope you enjoyed looking at our work and feel inspired to create your own rainforest painting! Why not send us a photo of it if you do.
Wow! Your work is fantastic Grade 3s, very creative. I really enjoyed looking at your slide show. Well done!
What Beautiful pictures -I love every one of them! I also like the way they were displayed so that the other children could see them.
I love the music too..It reminds me so much of when I went to Costa Rica.
Floppy
Look out! I think the tiger is ready to jump right out of the picture! Wonderful jobs, young artists. The way you used found materials to create your composition is both creative and resourceful. Does the parrot know how to say anything?
“Sqwuak…here comes the tiger! Here comes the tiger! Sqwuak!”
What a smart teacher you have to come up with such a creative art and social studies project.
Well done to all involved!

Wonderful work Grade 3! It is so colourful and eye catching but I am a bit worried about the parrot. I hope that he isn’t going to get gobbled up.
It’s wonderful that you’re making pictures that are about the Christmas play. Great work grade 3s.
I really like the Sloth and the Tiger. The Sloth is in the christmas Play and the Tiger looks scary. The Sloth is really sssssssssssssssssssslow !
Really loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to J & classmates,
WOW! are you guys talented, Uncle Frank & I sure enjoyed your show. It was so nice to see you Jin the picture. We enjoyed all the animals, & especially the sloth as Mihaela was just asking what a sloth was, now we can show her. I jumped when that big roar came. Was that thunder or the Lion?
Bye for now from good ole Winter White Canada Love you .
“We were very impressed with all the rainforest pictures. We will not be going into the rain forest with that fierce looking Jaguar but rather view it on television from the safety of an armchair!â€
Makes us want to hop on a plane and visit a rain forest! Absolutely love the music. Very talented artists in Provo! Love from us all in Australia.
