Visual Arts

From the Visual Arts room.

Foundation

Students have explored primary colours to create a primary colour flower garden.  The students have also been developing their scissor skills in fringing flowers and cutting out their butterflies. Enjoy the gardens that are in the corridor near the office, Foundation and Grade 1 and 2 classrooms.

Grades 1 and 2

Students have explored primary and secondary colours to create a flower garden. Students have also been developing their scissors skills, learning how to hold the paper and open and close the scissors. Enjoy the gardens that are in the corridor near the office, Foundation and Grade 1 and 2 classrooms.

Grades 3 and 4

Students continued to explore primary colours. Students looked at a piece of artwork by Piet Mondrian and discussed how they felt when looking at the artwork. Students used rulers and pencils to compose an artwork inspired by Piet Mondrian. The students learnt how to hold a ruler correctly to draw vertical and horizontal lines. 

Black markers were used to go over the pencil lines. Students used paint sticks to complete their work by deciding which areas to paint black, red, blue or yellow or leave white.

Grades 5 and 6

Students completed their self portraits for the Expo. Students drew the outer half of their face as people see them and then their inner self - their characteristics, likes, dislikes, background and strengths. 

Just take a moment to ....

Do some artwork outside during the holidays. 

On a sunny day, use some chalk to create some artwork on a path outside.
