Art Room News

Earlier in the term, students worked on artwork for Mother's Day. Foundation students practised their clay modelling skills to produce textured clay pendants. Year 1/2 students were inspired by folk artist, Heather Galler, and painted flower bouquets. Year 3/4 students created flower bouquets and worked on their still-life painting and drawing skills, and Year 5/6 students designed some embossed hearts with a stained glass effect. See some of their wonderful creations below. 

Youth Art for Reconciliation Exhibition

I am excited to announce that Clayton North Primary School has once again been invited to participate in the Youth Art for Reconciliation Exhibition for 2024. This year's theme is 'Treaty', and our Year 1/2/3/4 students have created some artworks inspired by Australian Aboriginal artists, some of which will be showcased in the exhibition.  The following flyer details the dates and location of the exhibition and we hope to get many of our CNPS community there to visit the gallery and support our students.

See below for more information.
