Boardgames
Foundation
Students explored visual arts through play, experimentation and imagination. They created simple optical illusions using lines and colour and they began the design of a basic board game to continue their fine motor and problem-solving skills. The students have also begun to practise talking about their own and others' artworks using simple language (e.g. colours, shapes, feelings).
Year 1
Students practice to express ideas and develop art-making techniques as they continue to design and create cardboard board games that reflect their own games experiences.The students have also begun describing what they see and how it makes them feel.
Year 2
Over the past two weeks, the students have continued developing their understanding of visual conventions using design and patterns to make their cardboard board games and express their own ideas. They draw on their personal experiences with games to shape their ideas.
Year 3
Over the past two weeks, Year 3 continued to explore how artworks are created for different purposes while they design their game boards. At this point they are deciding what works and what does not. The students have also begun to practice talking about art expressing their feelings and knowledge.
Year 4
Over the past two weeks, Year 4 are further developing their technical skills while building cardboard board games, planning rules and accessories. The students have also begun to reflect and give feedback on artworks they have been shown.
Year 5
Over the past two weeks, the students have been using art conventions and materials with increasing skill and intent while they design a collaborative board game.
After viewing the works of Leonardo de Vinci and Freda Karlo, the students have been analysing them and considering audience, purpose, and cultural context.
Year 6
Over the past two weeks, the students have continued to plan, create and evaluate their board games. They are testing and reworking their games collaboratively to develop a multi-layered board game using mixed media and refined design.
The students have also begun to practice how to critique artworks using appropriate terminology and considering meaning and audience. They viewed the work of Leonardo de Vinci and Freda Karlo.
