I am excited to share the latest happenings from the visual arts room! Our students have been busy working on exciting art projects, and we’re eager to share their incredible achievements with you!

Our Year 1, 2, and 3 students have been busy creating beautiful decorations for the upcoming Family Night Christmas Carols. The students have enjoyed experimenting with various art materials and techniques to create woven starts and lanterns pieces that will help bring the night to life. They are excited to showcase their creativity and are looking forward to sharing their work with you.

Year 4 students have been delving into two very different art styles: realism and abstract art. They took inspiration from nature and headed outside to the school garden, where they practiced realism through detailed drawings of the plants and landscapes. The results are impressive, capturing the beauty of the natural world with incredible precision. Following this, the students created stunning abstract pieces, incorporating bold colours and layers for a dynamic, contemporary feel. Their 3-layer abstract artworks look absolutely amazing.

Our Year 6 students have started working on something very special for their graduation – self-portraits! These portraits will be displayed at the end-of-year graduation ceremony and are a beautiful reflection of the growth and development our students have experienced during their time at the school. The dedication and enthusiasm they’ve shown in capturing their personal journeys through art is truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to see the final pieces. It’s shaping up to be a wonderful keepsake for both students and their families.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates from our visual arts room!
