Term 2 in the Art Room began with all Students honouring the spirit of Anzac Day through heartfelt artwork. From symbolic poppies to scenes of camaraderie, each creation pays homage to the courage and sacrifice of servicemen and women. All the artwork was an amazing tribute, ensuring the Anzac legacy lives on.

This term our P-2 students will draw inspiration from the works of acclaimed Australian artist Dean Bowden! Students will explore Bowden's masterpieces, through his use of colour, texture, and imagination. From whimsical landscapes to fantastical creatures, students will immerse themselves in Bowden's art, sparking their own creativity and imagination. Guided by Bowden's techniques, students will experiment with various mediums and styles, to create their own imaginative artworks. 

The Grade 3/4 students are learning about John Brack's distinctive style with the mastery of watercolour painting techniques. Inspired by Brack's meticulous attention to detail and his portrayal of everyday life, we aim to infuse our own creations with elements of his renowned aesthetic. From his precise lines to his muted color palette, we're exploring the elements that define Brack's signature style and incorporating them into our own art. As we learn about watercolour painting, we're focusing our skills in layering, blending, and shading to capture the essence of our self-portraits with depth and emotion. 

Our 5/6 students will be looking expressionism. Our investigation centres around the renowned artist Edvard Munch and his iconic masterpiece, "The Scream." Through careful analysis and reflection, we're exploring the techniques Munch employed to evoke intense feelings within his audience. We will focus on various elements such as colour, form, and composition to evoke emotions in our own creations.
