Art

This term the Grade 3 and 4 students have been investigating the Art element of ‘Value’. Value is the lightness or darkness in a colour. When you add white to a colour or hue, like red, you'll get a TINT. When you add black to a colour, it is called a SHADE. When you mix both white and black (i.e grey), you make a TONE. 

Canadian artist Ted Harrison uses value in his art, often combining it with flat, electric, and bold colours to define shapes, layers, and depth in his northern landscapes. Inspired by Ted Harrison, the students have painted their own landscapes, using just two cool colours plus black and white to create tints and shades in the mountains. The   skies were similarly painted with two warm colours plus white and black. Pastel painted markers were used between the mountain to highlight and define their shapes.

The offical opening of the Grade 5/6 ‘Women in Art’ Exhibition will be held at the Collaboration Space for Grade 5 and 6 students and their invited families and friends on Wednesday 4th November at 2.40pm. After a some short speeches by the Art Captain snd Ms Rodriguez, year 5 & 6 students and their guests will be invited to view the exhibition. 

At 3:30pm on Wednesday 4th, the Exhibition will then be opened up to the wider school community from 3:30pm – 4:00pm. On Thursday 5th and Friday 6th the Collaboration Space will also be open from 3:30pm – 4:00pm for family and friends to visit.

The students have been working very hard on this for months and I know you will be amazed and what they have created. Thank you for your continued support in this wonderful exhibition.
