Eli Halpin Art

Eli Halpin’s paintings are about food, sharing, living together, working together and the cycle of life.  Her favourite subjects to paint are paws, cheeks, whiskers, horns, tusks and claws.

They are made on recycled wood doors with thick oil paint and sometimes acrylic, spray paint, metals, mica, glass, fabric, sand, gemstones, pearls, and found objects.

In keeping with Eli Halpin’s style, the grade 6’s used mixed media to create similar works of art.  On black construction paper, they drew animals with white glue outlines and filled the images in with oil pastels.  They also created 3D sculptures of the same animal.  To do this, they used masking tape over newspaper forms and they painted them in the same style.
