Students are working really hard on getting their artworks ready for the art show - I must admit that I am loving the creativity shown in each and every piece!.
Classroom Curriculum:
Foundation:  Foundation students are utilising their colour theory knowledge and creating their own version of “castle With Sun” by Paul Klee. They are also learning about mixing neutrals from primary colours and learning about the author  illustrator Catherine Rayner and creating a variety of neutral coloured animals.
Years 1 & 2: Year 1 and 2 students are working on a 3D version of their favourite book - this upscaled version has utilised cutting skills, building and construction, colour knowledge and also they have been thinking how an audience will view their work. Students will then study Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.,
Year 5 & 6: Year 5 and 6 students have been diligently exploring recycled and found materials to create a sculptural bird after learning about Aboriginal Totem birds and the work of Barbara Kobylinska. They are building strength into the armature with tape, foil and then covering with plaster. When body is complete - they are exploring colour and pattern to finalised their bird. When these are complete students will embark on exploring pop art to produce their first capital name character in a clay tile for wall display.
