Foundation Students have very enthusiastically engaged in studies about rainbows, colourful elephants such as Elmer and the most colourful of creatures, the butterfly! They even made a classroom mural of a mural decorated with their beautiful butterflies. These they used dispersing paper, so ask the children to talk about how the colour changed when they added water to these. Some of these pictures show their great excitement to have made their Mum's or other special person, a teddy for Mother's Day.
This term Level 2 went round the world with Colour Studies! The display in the Padua Building shows how we began in Aboriginal Australia with My Place Paintings, we went to India to look at Rangoli's, on to Africa to try and hide the secret ticket for the fabric design, in a colour, texture and pattern work of art, then over to America where the Pop Art Fad took over.
Levels 5 and 6 have been working in parallel to each other this term, both designing and making 'Flourishing and Known' mosaic art pieces, except the Year 6s are working on their 'leave your mark' whilst Yr 5s will be taking their small mosaic home. These pictures show the process and the concept of making a mosaic, through the eyes of the students' designs and their safe use of the tools to break and reshape the tiles.
Year 6 students are looking forward to completing the mural this week! To assist with this, they are welcome to invite a family member or other close friend to come to school on Friday, to show them the tricks and techniques of working in this wonderful art medium. We are looking forward to opening the Art Room for this special day!
