Visual Arts

Our Prep students have explored what it means to be a Star Artist. Students designed Star Artist hats by creating simple patterns using colours and shapes. A photo of the students and their amazing hats is posted on the Prep N and Prep L Dojo pages.

As a whole school, we have been adding key actions required to be a Star Artist. We have created a table together.

How to be a Star Artist

Stay Safe	Try Your Best	Act Responsibly	Respect yourself and others
Chairs tucked in Walk in the art room Scissors stay at the table Wash your hands Do not enter the art cupboard	Have a growth mindset Mistakes are ok Follow the steps one at a time Keep trying	Look after the equipment Return equipment to the correct spot Ask the teacher to go to the toilet Name and Grade on all art work	Gentle hands Hand up to talk Leave the room ready for the next class Do not touch other peoples art work Help others

We investigated the value of respect this week by exploring the beautiful Indigenous text ‘Respect’ written by Aunty Fay Stewart Muir and Sue Lawson and illustrated by Lisa Kennedy.

Students created oil pastel artworks inspired by the illustrations to tell a story about respect using the art elements colour, shape, line and pattern. We made many connections between our U R Strong Program, our school's STAR values and this text.

Have a fabulous week!

Kindest Regards,
