Visual Arts

Welcome to Visual Arts 2024!

It’s shaping up to be a wonderfully creative year with so many projects to get stuck into! For those of you new to ENPS, allow me to sum up briefly what your child may experience in this class. 

All Foundation to Year Six students participate in Visual Arts sessions once a week for an hour, for half the year. Students will get the opportunity to explore a wide variety of different art mediums such as:

• Drawing
• Painting
• Printing
• Threads & Textiles
• Construction
• Clay
• Collage
• Mixed Media, including Media Arts

This week, Foundation students began their ENPS art journey exploring painting and printing using a variety of different materials.

Other year levels will continue to further develop their art skills, as well as learn new skills, in these areas. To gain further information on what each year level can expect this term in the Visual Arts, a Year Level Flyer will be sent home shortly.

During these early Arts sessions we have been looking into the School Wide Positive Behaviours (SWPB) of Safe, Kind and Respectful and looking for ways that we can demonstrate these behaviours in our Performing and Visual Arts spaces.

I am looking forward to another exciting year in Visual Art with some more exciting works destined for the school grounds. The Inclusive Play Space now has colourful clay rainbow fish adorning the concrete amphitheatre thanks to the creative efforts of the 2023 Year One cohort – keep an eye out for these wonderful pieces! 

We will also endeavour to hold exhibitions throughout the year.

Cheers for now,

Nicki Myszka
