Grade 5B Emoji Drawing
Students learnt how artists can use different colours to represent feelings or emotions. Red for anger, danger or love. Orange can represent energy, warmth or excitement etc.
They also experimented with creating different lines to express their chosen emotion; swirls for confusions, zig zag for anger etc.
After selecting an emoji (a small digital image or icon used to express an idea or emotion in electronic communication) they thought carefully about the colour and line choice for their background.
Can you guess which emoji they created?
Grade 1/2Z Radial Symmetry
Students viewed artwork that was radially symmetrical. We went on a scavenger hunt around the school to collect natural items such as leaves, seeds, sticks and rocks.
Our fingers then got very busy creating a collaborative radially symmetrical piece of artwork for our upcoming Art Show.
The Art Show will be held on Monday October 30th. Every primary student will have at least one piece of artwork in the display. There will also be an outstanding selection of high school work to be enjoyed.
