Art in the Environment - Tyre Art

This year each class is completing a unit of work around art in the environment.  So to get started Room 4 looked at some images on pintrist and google. We searched up outside art, environment art, kids outside art ideas, etc.  (Thomas)




When we found things we liked we saved it to a board called Art in the Environment. Then we had to look at everyone's ideas and everyone agreed that using tyres to make art would be fun. (Jordan, Charlie)

We picked our seven favourite types of art and got into small groups. We used a shared a doc and an image of our art idea and wrote all the things we'd need onto the doc. (Isabel)

Shared Google Doc


We spent the weekend gathering the things we needed from our mums, dads, shops and other places. On Monday we went and checked that we had everything we needed so we could start on Tuesday. (Ephraim)

On Tuesday Aylah's parents and Arnika's dad came to help us with cutting and screwing our tyres. We had to choose our tyres and get everything we needed. The garden group had to wait until the end because they could have as many as was left for their garden. (Mackenzie C and Isabel)

We had already bought all the paint we needed so on Tuesday we put down a tarpaulin so the paint wouldn't get all over the grass. Next we started to paint carefully. It was quite hard and people had to wait to get the colours that they needed because other people were already using them. (Liam)

We are nearly finished and they are looking great. We just need to finish painting and screwing some last bits together. Then we will plant and position them around the school. (Aylah)

Here's how they are looking so far......

Keep watching to see how they end up looking.
