Term 2 Art Summary – Mixed Media Focus

This term, our focus in Art has been on Mixed Media, exploring paint, pastel, and collage. Students worked on two key projects: "About Me in Pictures", which encouraged personal expression, and the "3 Line Challenge", where they created landscapes using layered backgrounds and black silhouette details. 

Throughout the term, students have developed a strong understanding of texture, background and foreground, and have confidently showcased their individual artistic styles. Their creativity and engagement have been a joy to see!

Recognising Outstanding Attitude and Effort

While we celebrate excellence through certificate awards at each assembly - as it is the end of Semester 1, I also want to acknowledge a group of students from each year level who consistently demonstrate outstanding focus, helpfulness, a positive attitude, and beautiful manners. 

These students quietly lead by example, always putting great effort into their artwork and showing kindness and respect in the art room.

Their dedication and approach to learning are truly commendable, and they help create a positive and supportive environment for everyone. Thank you to these students:
