Welcome to the latest update from our vibrant art room!

We are delighted to update you on the wonderful artistic journey our Year 3 and 4 students have embarked upon this term in Visual Arts. The students have been immersed in a creative process as part of the upcoming Little Impressions Exhibition at the 2024 AWESOME Festival.

This year's theme, "Listen to Your Heart," encouraged our young artists to explore their emotions and express themselves through art. They began by creating unique collage paper prints using techniques such as rainbow scrape printing, squeegee painting, and kiss printing. These methods allowed them to experiment with texture and colour, sparking their imagination and enthusiasm.

Following the printmaking phase, the students carefully cut their prints into strips to form the vibrant sun rays surrounding their self-portraits. This step encouraged them to think critically about composition and design. Currently, our students eagerly paint self-portraits, each a personal reflection of their inner selves. Through this process, they have honed their skills in self-expression and developed a deeper understanding of the power of art to convey emotions and experiences.

The 2024 AWESOME Festival, where our sun self-portraits will be proudly displayed, will take place from 24 September to 28 September. This event will provide a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their creativity and celebrate their accomplishments with the wider community.

Stay tuned for more updates on their artistic journey!
