Welcome to the latest update from our vibrant art room!

Our talented students in Years 5 and 6 have just completed their artwork for the prestigious City of Joondalup’s Art competition. The task of selecting only six pieces to represent our school is a testament to the high calibre of their work. We eagerly await the final decision.

Year 4 students embarked on a fascinating journey into the world of monochromatic painting.  They delved into the vocabulary of art, learning about hue, base colour, tint, and shade. Applying their newfound knowledge, they painted their own monochromatic scale. But the real magic happened when they transformed their paintings into 'spacey' 3D art, cutting out two circles and pasting them on black cardboard, leaving a small strip of black shadow under the circles. The result was truly out of this world!

Year 3 is developing artistic processes and techniques to explore visual conventions through colour with tints (mixing white). They were inspired by Robert Wyland, an American artist and conservationist best known for his over 100 Whaling Walls, large outdoor murals featuring life-size whales and other sea life images.

Stay tuned for more updates on their artistic journey!
