Art Show 2022

On Tuesday the 15th of November the community came together to celebrate and acknowledge all the great work the students have created in art this year. 

 The Art Show is a celebration of our student’s artistic journey.

Little hands create the most powerful and inspiring art. Art that sings, art that dances, art that makes them think backwards and art that tells their stories.

At age 13 Picasso could draw a self-portrait as if it was a mirror image. So why did he spend his adult life trying to paint anything but that?

“All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up” (Picasso) It takes courage to be an artist. 

My role as an Art teacher is to help those little hands (and not so little anymore) communicate visually their artistic journey. Our showcase at SJW started with paintings of our preps as they start to explore the world of colour and as you moved through the exhibition the community witnessed how the children’s art unpacks so much about their personalities, their culture and their commitment to Art education.
