Visual Arts

Students have continued to impress us over Term 1 building on a wide range of paper sculpting, weaving and fine motor skills. They have demonstrated their new learnings to great effect, creating everything from a collaborative school of fish, buzzing bees, 3D strip weavings, and whole cities. 

Below we have shared with you just a few of the fantastic creations made by the students at AHPS. We look forward to sharing the 5/6 final Term projects in our next Newsletter update. 

Prep 

Our prep students have been working hard to build their knowledge of 2D shapes and shape attributes such as the number of sides and corners. They have continued to develop their application of line and pattern, showing growing improvement in the composition of their artworks and use of a range of mediums such as pencil, oil pastel and crayon. Below are some of the shape mashup and shape castle works from the past weeks.

Year 1/2 

Year 1 and 2 have continued to improve their cutting and fine motor skills completing a series of loop and strip artworks. We have loved watching their ideas come to life as they craft a wonderful world of flowers, fans and buzzing bees. We can't wait to see what they do next. These are certainly some unique bees!

Year 3/4

This term year 3/4's have worked to create a fantastic assortment of weaving and strip artworks. From basic weaving techniques to 3D strip art they have showcased their growing paper manipulating skills. It has been great to see them working to improve their measurement and ruler capabilities which they will be able to take into the classroom. Here are just a few gems : )

Year 5/6

The senior school have been busy creating all sorts of 3D sculptures and city scapes. From houses to carwashes, castles to drive-throughs, they have certainly exceeded our expectations. While the 5/6 work on designing their final project pieces we are looking forward to seeing the culmination of the new building techniques they have mastered this term.
