Specialist Feature News: Visual Arts

 

Selamat Siang semuanya, 

 

In Visual Arts students have been exploring a whole school focus of the artist, Karla Gerard. We have been learning about her contemporary abstract style of folk art and applying this to our own village creations. 

 

Junior students have been focusing on using shape such as squares and triangles to create houses, whilst the Senior students have been adding details of villages and towns into their art pieces and challenging themselves to incorporate both 3D and 2D shapes and structures in their art.
