In Visual Arts students have been working through the Art Elements, participating in practical artmaking activities that showcase each art element while also studying artists whose work reflect these foundational art elements.

In the 1940s a group of artists wanted their artworks to look completely non representational or 'abstract'. They were called the 'Colourfield' artists because they painted in large fields of colour that would 'envelop' the view when they stood in front of their expansive canvases. The Colourfield artists rejected all forms of illusionism (especially perspective and tone) and any hint of subject matter. In term one, Year 7 Visual Arts students have been exploring the 6 elements of art (line, shape, tone, colour, texture and space). They have employed line, shape and colour, tone and texture to create their own Colourfield artwork
