Visual Arts

This term, students are completing a unit of learning all about drawing and painting. The focus for the term is 'People and Other Living Things', like plants and animals.

Goonie students have enjoyed exploring the art room and the different materials we have in there to create artworks. Students have created family portraits to represent who is in their family and experimented with coloured pencils and  watercolour paints. 

Thurgoon students have been developing their ability to view artworks and comment on what they see. They learnt that emotions can be conveyed through colour and shapes.

Nungara students have been annotating artworks by famous artists and expressing their opinions on them. They have also been sketching self-portraits. 

Most recently, all students have been looking at artwork by Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian. Their artworks focus on the use of shapes and colours. Students had to create an artwork that was inspired by one of these artists, by using shapes and primary colours. They could do a person or other living thing.

Lunch orders are available from Sweet and Sour Sisters Tuesday-Thursday.
