What an incredible year of creativity and learning it has been. This year, our students have explored the Elements of Art, experimenting with new techniques, and drawing inspiration from famous artists and art movements. Their growth as artists has indeed been inspiring.

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to celebrate all their hard work and talent. The students will bring their art portfolio home, and we encourage families to host their own "Art Show" at home. This is a beautiful opportunity for the students to share their creations and artistic journeys with loved ones.

Here are some ideas to create your own art show:

Display the artwork in one room: Create a mini-gallery space for the student’s work.

Enjoy a gallery viewing: Invite family members to stroll through the display, which is like a professional art exhibition.

Discuss the artwork: Engage in conversations like:

“How did you make this?”

“What is your favourite piece? Why?”

“Tell me about your artwork.”

It has been an absolute pleasure watching our young artists grow this year. Their passion, dedication, and imagination have genuinely blown me away. I’m excited to see what 2025 brings for our creative community at Joondalup Schools.

Enjoy the holiday break, stay artful, and have fun! Farewell for 2024 from the art room—see you all in 2025.
