Artist of the Week 10/06/2019

Our grade 5 and 6 students have been working on an ambitious project to create an image of a local landscape. These are part of a larger project of Art teachers in the Boroondara region where we are showcasing student works at the Hawthorn Town Hall in an exhibition in July, entitled "Local Landscapes Through our Eyes." At BPPS, we decided to put our landscapes within a painting of an eye! The artists MC Escher and Rene Magritte were sources of inspiration for the students. Many of the skills in blending skin tones that the students practised on their iPads in term 1, were realised with real paint in these works. It is going to be a challenge to choose just 6 works from our school for the exhibition as the quality of the work has been amazing. But we have chosen two for artists of the week - Gabriella L and Eleanor K of 6JK.
