Play School

- Season 104

(2005)

Karen makes a hobby horse from a shoe box, a cylinder, pieces of egg carton and newspaper. George makes a crown from strips of cardboard. Karen paints a portrait of George on the hobby horse made earlier. George explores the emotional affect different colours have on us. George becomes the guide of the Play School Art Gallery and shows Karen the works of art. He then plays a trick on Karen by pretending to be a moving portrait in a frame.

Karen wears green and George wears red to create interesting illusions behind a chair. Karen paints a rainbow. George shows us some more colours at the Play School Art Gallery. Karen makes a peggy-leggy bird. They admire The Red Collection at the Play School Art Gallery thanks to Karen, our guide, and George as the painting that keeps changing.

Angela and George finger paint and mix colours, creating different patterns. George shows us some pictures of animals. George makes a monkey mask for Little Ted. Angela dresses as a doctor for "Three Cheeky Monkeys". Angela is today's Guide for the Play School Art Gallery, where George plays a practical joke, pretending to be a statue of a monkey.

Deborah and George draw animals to music. We look at a collection of pictures of umbrellas. Deborah makes the name of the day with dot painting, and then paints a cardboard goanna. Deborah shows us some Aboriginal art in the Play School Art Gallery. Deborah and George move to "dot" and "line" music.

Karen and George show us scrolls that have poems written on them for Diddle and Humpty. The presenters show us around the Play School Art Gallery. George plays a 'gallop and stop' game with Jess and his percussion instruments. Meeka "walks" through a scenic box with a moving background, discovering sakura (cherry blossoms ) along the way. Elliott and Jess, Karen and George recreate the Chinese New Year Dragon Dance.
