Grades 1-5 ~ More Britto-inspired masterpieces

Doesn't the office area look so bright and colourful with all this amazing work by our students from Grades 1-5??? WOW!! Our Foundation students' work is on display in the Art Room windows and our Grade 6 students are carefully working away on their 3D Britto-inspired pieces in readiness for our Art Show in October.

A very big thank you to Ada (Grade 1) and her family for lending us some of their Romero Britto collectables from their home! Our students loved seeing Britto's style come to life in these cute soft toys and ceramic homewares.

Grade 1 ~ Celebrating Brazil and Romero Britto

We've been getting in to the Rio Olympics spirit and each grade has been learning about the Brazilian pop-artist Romero Britto. Although he now lives in Miami, he was born in Brazil and taught himself to paint using scraps of paper or cardboard.

The students loved looking at his paintings and sculptures and were impressed by his use of bold black lines, bright colours and patterns. You may have noticed some amazing Britto-inspired artwork up on display on the Art Room windows - these were completed by our very talented Foundation students using black markers, textas and coloured pencils.

Here are some of the artworks created by our Grade 1 students - all inspired by Romero Britto's bold use of line, colour and pattern. Fantastic!

Milestones at Marlborough ~ A Reflection and Art Show

Marlborough Primary School 40th Anniversary Celebrations 1976 - 2016.

Marlborough is celebrating it's 40th Anniversary in October! Celebrations will culminate in a Reflection and Art Show on Sunday 23rd.

We are keen to hear from past students, families and teachers who would be willing to share their experiences at Marlborough Primary School with us. We are seeking photos (especially informal) and memorabilia (certificates, school work etc) from past students, families and teachers for a historical display.

Please contact us at mps40thanniversary@gmail.com to be part of the fun!

Please Like and Share the Facebook Page so we can connect with as many members of the Marlborough community (past and present) as possible and keep you informed of the coming events to celebrate this milestone in the School's history.

Congratulations to Ella B, Erica G and Sophie R for collaborating on the winning design for our 40^th anniversary celebrations. Ella’s hands, Erica’s puzzle pieces and Sophie’s wattle have all come together to create a striking logo. Well done!
