Visual Art

Last week, all classes revisited our amazing Art Show where we watched a short video to recap all the beautiful artwork produced by our talented Willy Kids. We discussed how to give feedback and chose some of our favourite things to be remembered from the 2026 Art Show.

We are trying something new this year and have been collecting paper shopping bags which will be transformed into folios to store our art pieces. A big thank you to everyone who has donated bags for each child to have one for their folio, we now have enough paper bags for this year. This week, all classes began working on an art piece that will become the front cover of their folio. Each year level has been creating abstract pieces experimenting with pattern, line and colour using black texta outline, crayons or paint.

You may have noticed some art pieces have been coming home gradually over the last couple of weeks and the remaining pieces will be transported in our colourful folios in the coming weeks.

Grade 3/4: Students have played The Weeknd’s song “Blinding Lights” on the bucket drums. On the ukulele, students have continued playing songs that feature the G chord including the song also by The Weeknd, called “Can’t Feel My Face.”

Grade 5/6: Students have continued reading and playing the percussion parts to the songs: “The Addams Family” and “Axel F (Crazy Frog)”. They have continued to play the more challenging G7 chord and can now play the “Vegemite Jingle” on both the ukulele and marimba.
