'St. Anthony’s adopts a holistic and collaborative approach to education that engages students to drive their learning based on their individual needs and preferences.'
Visual Arts Term 4
The term has seen Levels F-4 explore Portraiture by looking at some famous artists’ styles.
They learnt photography and how to apply the Sketches School App tools to their photos.
Some of them took photos of themselves not looking at the camera, which makes them look
mysterious!
Other activities involved students making very tactile art pieces, such as the Waves
painting/collage where students enhanced their picture with textures such as sand, salt,
paper magic clay features; clay modelling when the 5/6s copied the Wabi Sabi Japanese style of
pottery; and lots of Christmas sparkle is currently being created by all the levels and they
make either decorations, KK for friends or toys for the school holidays.
To finish the lovely Art year that was, the 5/6s can now finally see the fruits of their labour
displayed on the walls – The ‘Flourishing and Known’ Mosaics and Paintings. They will leave
a wonderful ‘Mark’ for future generations of students to feel the joy at school, that this art
work gives!
