Welcome back to another year of creativity in the Art Room.
Students are busy working on a range of techniques and processes this term.
Our new Foundation students are settling well into the routines of visiting the Art Room and spending their lessons experimenting with a variety of mark making techniques. Watercolour paints have been the highlight so far!
Grades 1/2 have spent some time viewing the illustrations of Philip Bunting, particularly enjoying his book 'Koalas eat Gumleaves'. They have created some amazing illustrations of koalas themselves. We are currently learning about the artist Henri Matisse.
Grades 3/4 also created some drawings of koalas this term, as well as sculpting some fibre animals, inspired by the Tjanpi Desert Weavers.
Our Grades 5/6 classes have been creating the most amazing Australian Bird collages this term. We spent time making textured, painted papers to match images of birds that students selected. They then used these painted papers to create a collage of their chosen bird.
