Art Space is back!
Students from Year 7, 8, 9 and 12 came to our very first Artspace of the year on Monday. Paintbrushes, watercolour and coloured pencils were offered to the students to freely put their ideas onto paper. The theme was to draw/ paint their, “favourite memory”, but of course, you are free to express any of your ideas. Students came with their friends and everybody had fun while music was playing in the background. Songs were suggested and tips for drawing were also requested!
Come along to the next Artspace and see how much fun you can have.
Also, thank you to everyone who came and a special thank you to Avreen Ram (8H) for her very cute water colour painting.
