Visual Art 

 Foundation – Visual Arts

Foundation students have been busy continuing their imaginative world-building projects. They are adding new drawings to their artist books, showing special places, creatures, and symbols from their make-believe worlds. Students are enjoying sharing their ideas with classmates and seeing how everyone’s worlds are different and creative.

Year 1 students are continuing to develop their imaginative world designs. They are adding detail and colour to their drawings, thinking about how stories and family traditions can be represented through symbols and settings. Students are showing great enthusiasm as their worlds take shape on paper.

Year 2 students are extending their ideas by refining the details in their drawings and experimenting with ways to show movement, texture, and space in their imaginary worlds. They have been discussing how artists use symbols to tell stories and are beginning to include their own meaningful symbols in their work. 

Year 3 students have continued exploring their imaginative worlds, using a variety of drawing materials to bring depth and personality to their designs. They are considering how to represent different parts of their world, such as landscapes, architecture, or creatures and adding creative finishing touches to their artist books.

In Year 4, students are developing their artist books further, refining drawings and exploring how to represent their world’s culture, values, and stories visually. They are showing increased confidence in using drawing techniques and creative problem-solving to express their ideas.

Year 5 students are deep into their imaginative world-building projects. They are using their artist books to refine ideas, develop consistent symbols, and explore how colour, pattern, and composition can express meaning. Many students are experimenting with mixed media to add texture and depth to their designs.

Year 6 students are continuing to work on their imaginative world artist books, refining their designs and exploring more advanced ways to express the culture, values, and identity of their invented worlds. The students have been enthusiastic about their progress and are proud of how their detailed and creative books are coming together.
