From the Visual Arts room.

Each student is required to have an art smock. Smocks can be purchased through the uniform shop, department stores such as KMart or Big W, or made at home from an oversized shirt.

Please ensure that your child's name and grade is written clearly on the smock.

Each classroom has a tub where the smocks are kept and are used regularly in the art room.

Please note, there are no spare smocks in the art room.

Thinking about the words, the students visualised what they could draw to reflect the meaning. Students used black markers to draw images and then poster paints in earthy colours to create their artwork.
