Year 3 – Animal Mixed Media Artwork
Students have completed their mixed media animal artworks, inspired by the work of artist Tracy Ann Finley. Using acrylic paint and oil pastels, students explored layering colours, creating texture and experimenting with patterns to bring their animal subjects to life. The finished artworks are full of colour and lots of detail.
Year 4 – Pinch Pot Creatures
Students have finished their pinch pot creatures! After shaping their sculptures from clay, students experimented with watercolour painting to add colour and character to their creations. Their finished pieces were sealed to protect the surface and give their creatures a polished finish.
Year 5 – Greek Vases
Students have completed their Greek-inspired vases and they look fantastic. Drawing inspiration from Ancient Greek pottery, students explored traditional motifs, decorative patterns and storytelling through imagery. Their designs capture stories from Greek mythology, featuring gods, heroes and mythical creatures.
Year 6 – Graduation Portraits
Students have been busy creating their graduation portraits using reverse acetate techniques. They have been tracing their photographs and adding acrylic paint to add colour and detail. These special artworks will contribute to a celebration of our graduating students at the end of the year.
A Special Thank You
A big thank you to all the families, teachers and community members who supported our Art Stall at the Twilight Fete! Your enthusiasm and generosity helped make the stall a wonderful success. We are so grateful to everyone who came along and purchased student artworks, celebrating the creativity and hard work of our young artists.
