Visual Arts

This term in Visual Arts, students across the school have been exploring the exciting world of threads and textiles. From Foundation to Year Six, everyone has been busy creating hands-on textile projects, developing fine motor skills, patience, and creativity along the way.

We hope our families enjoyed seeing all our amazing accessories on stage as well as handmade props created by a dedicated team of teachers and students alike.

We hope all our students and families have a safe and enjoyable holidays!

We look forward to an action packed Term Four, full of print making activities and of course celebrating the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas!

Fantastic Foundation

This term, Foundation students have been busy exploring their creativity with textiles. 

The students created some amazing accessories that were seen on stage, shining bright alongside our incredible performers! Colourful necklaces and bight sequined headbands will be a special memento for them to remember their first ever concert!

The Foundation students have spent the last few weeks creating their wool wrapped letters, adding extra flair and embellishments.

Wonderful Year One

This term, Year One students have been busy getting creative with textiles! 

The students did an exceptional job at decorating their own hat for the concert and they sure did look amazing on stage. We hope they can continue to enjoy them at home as a special memento from the special experience.

The Year One students created their Rainbow Hangings over the last two weeks and the bright colours and patterns looked amazing! They are still a work in progress for most classes so we look forward to sharing some pictures in the next newsletter.

Terrific Year Two

Year Two students have been busy exploring a range of creative projects this term. 

At the concert, the students were popping with Fluro with their headbands and armbands that finished off their costumes beautifully.

The Year One students have created their Popsicle Weaving project that built fine motor skills while allowing them to experiment with colour, pattern, and texture. They are still finishing off their final piece so will share some pictures in the next newsletter.

Tremendous Year Three

This term, Year Three students have been diving into creative textile and art projects. They began by making softies and most students have now completed their final piece and they looked amazing! We hope families enjoyed seeing these pieces coming home.

The students took great care and thought when decorating their headbands for the concert and they looked fantastic on stage with their costumes and dance moves! 

For the past two weeks, the Year Three students have been working on their Spiral Weaving project. They have done a wonderful job so far and they will continue to work on them during the final week of term. 

Fabulous Year Four

This term, Year Four students have been working on textile and threading projects. 

The bandanas decorated by the students for the Concert, looked spectacular and added that final flair to their costumes. They were very proud to wear something that had been made with such a personalised approach.

The Year Four students accepted a new challenge of Cross Stitch head on and begun creating special bookmarks using various cross stitch methods. These will be a work in progress heading into Term Four.

Superb Seniors

This term, Years Five and Six have been exploring weaving and textile projects. 

The students took care when creating bright, sparkly and flowery bracelets to match their concert costumes and add that extra flair onstage. They looked spectacular and they can now keep their pieces as a special reminder of their final BRPS concert.

The Year Five and Six students created a hessian sewing animal project which are still a work in progress. They used various materials such as paint, thread, needles and beads to produce a fantastic piece of art. We look forward to sharing the final pieces in the next newsletter.
