Year 7 Colour Scheme

In their exploration of colour theory, Year 7 students have focused on understanding the principles of the colour wheel. Through this study, they have gained insights into harmonious and complementary colour combinations, which they have applied to their paintings. Selecting individual designs, students have skillfully implemented their chosen colour schemes, refining both their painting techniques and fine motor skills in the process.

Year 8 Howard Arkley Inspired Houses

Howard Arkley was a Melbourne born artist who was inspired by the rural and suburban culture of Australia. He was known for his Pop Art styled airbrush paintings of houses, architecture and suburbia. Students have been inspired by Arkley in their interpretation and creation of their own homes.

Year 9 Expressive Eyes

You have probably heard the phrase: ‘The eyes are the windows to the soul’. Portrait artists throughout history have tried to depict a glimpse into the soul of their subjects using a variety of expressive styles. Students have explored a range of media and techniques to create an expressive artwork based on the subject matter of ‘Expressive Eyes’. The final artwork was created on the surface of a timber block.
