Visual Art
What's been happening in Visual Art........
It was a super busy end to Term 1, which saw the completion of the Grade 5 and 6 community art projects. These are magnificent and are proudly on display in the corridors of the senior areas of the school. Please come in and have a look at them and see if you can work out the theme the artwork is representing.
Meet 'Echi' the Echidna! Foundation - Grade 2 students have started the term with a bang! They have enjoyed making and collaging papers to create their very own Echidna. These look terrific and a lovley colourful addition to the display boards in the school
Volunteers in the Art Room
Thank you again to the parents that were able to help out in the Art Room on Monday. Your time was greatly appreciated, and we were able to achieve so much.
If you can spare 20 minutes or longer on a Monday morning between 8.45am-11am or on a Tuesday between 2.15pm-3.30pm? I would love some assistance to help prepare materials for my weekly art lessons. Typical tasks might include cutting paper or materials, putting up displays or helping me sort out the art storeroom - no small task!
I would greatly appreciate any amount of time you can spare no matter how small. Please email me directly on lisa.trevorrow@education.vic.gov.au or pop in and see me in the art room between Monday - Thursday.
NEEDED: Newspaper and large yogurt tubs with lids (see photo below)
I understand that physical newspapers are a rarity these days but they are a precious resource in the art room. If you still read a newspaper and are happy to donate them to school I would be very grateful. There is a box outside the art room office in the main corridor ready for donations.
Likewise, I am also seeking large yogurt tubs with lids as they are terrific to store paint in and also for papier-mâché.
New Art Displays
Come in and check out our new canvas show casing the indigenous print making unit that Grade 3 and 4 completed last term. It will make a lovely permanent addition to the artwork around the school.
