Visual Arts 

Welcome back to Term 3

We hope you all enjoyed your time and are as keen as us to come back to school.

Throughout  Art this week, we have spoken about "Naidoc Week"

NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee, and it dates back to the 1920s and the fight for better living conditions and rights for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Although Naidoc Week was last week,  it was a great opportunity for us to look at an Aboriginal artist, and make some sand art using a similar technique to the artist.

Artist Lowell Hunter mixes dance and storytelling with a strong connection to the Victorian Coast. Here he creates unique sand art, carved into the shorelines. His amazing art pieces need to be seen from above to be fully appreciated.

Art is one of the key rituals of Aboriginal culture. It was, and still is, used to mark territory, record history, and tell stories about "The Dreaming".

Here are a few happy snaps from the day; as you can see, the kids were elated working on this art technique and are very proud to have them displayed on the walls. Pop in and have a look!

Cheers Mrs Wade
