Local landscapes Through Our Eyes Exhibition

On the Saturday of the middle weekend of the school holidays Boroondara Park's featured artists and their families attended the opening event of the exhibition at the Hawthorn Town Hall.  Amy W and Tara M spoke briefly about their experience of creating their artworks, and they got to meet the Mayor, Councillor Jane Addis. The exhibition continues until the end of the month and is definitely worth a visit.

Artists of the Weeks

Artists of the first two weeks of term 3 are Lula P and Chloe J of 4AP, and Scarlett M and Lacey W of 4SC.

These girls impressed with their works inspired by the late American artist, Georgia O'Keefe. O'Keefe is renown for her large paintings of close ups of flowers and their parts - so close that the works almost become abstractions. Grade 3 and 4 children  were asked to choose a small part of a photograph of a flower and then to enlarge this using watercolour pencils and sticks. Well done girls!
