This week in Visual Arts all the students have been creating art work in response to the upcoming City of Bayside Exhibition . The theme this year is Belonging in the Community.

Even our Junior students demonstrated their learnings by creating these wonderful versions of the Iconic Brighton Beach Boxes by using a range of mixed media. 

Recently in Visual Arts our Middle and some Senior students had the opportunity to experiment with preparing block printing designs. Initially a design was created, then transferred onto a foam block by using an etching method. Students then dabbled using one colour of paint for printing. Then we created some complexities to the pieces by designing different coloured grids and frame shapes on multi coloured card and then applying several over laying colours of paint. 

Here are some of the examples of the superb work the students produced.

Warm regards,
