Visual Arts

A celebration of our creativity

Introducting our 2024 Visual Arts Captains

My name is Charlie-Rose but you can call me “Ross”. I am so excited to be the art leader for 2024. I was very happy when I got the role and was ready to undertake the responsibilities. I have always loved art, especially water colour. Some of my other hobbies are: crocheting, baking, netball, and singing! I am super lucky to be working alongside my best friend and Sarah. I am looking forward to encouraging others to explore different types of art because every child is an artist.🧑‍🎨 ❤️

My name is Sienna and I am looking forward to being the Visual Arts leader this year. I’m so excited to work with Sarah and one of my best friends, Charlie-Rose. I am so grateful to have been appointed to this role. I am passionate about helping others with a smile. I love to bake and create cool cupcakes using fondant and create different rocky road flavours. I also love to crochet and knit when I need to have some downtime. I am so excited to share my positive energy to all the Holy Spirit community. Bring on 2024 - a year to bring out the bright colours in everyone. “Creativity takes courage.”

Week 3 & 4 in the Art Room

What a fortnight it's been filled with colourful expressions and artistic explorations.

During Week 3, students explored self-portraits, drawing inspiration from artists like Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and Vincent Van Gogh and linking with our Inquiry topic 'Identity'. They added unique elements to their portraits, focusing on proportion, facial features, expressions, and contouring for older students.

Prep - Year 2 students began our lesson in Week 4 by reading the book "It's Okay to be Different", which inspirated them to create their own vibrant self-portrait collages using coloured paper.
