This term our SLC students explored Colour, Texture, Line and Shape by creating wonderful Emotions Characters. Inspired by the work of Melbourne artist, Brendan Huntley, the students explored different emotionsand how they can be represented through the different elements of art. This project ran across three lessons and the results were fantastic.

Term 2 has been special for the Yan Yean students, working with our visiting artist, Lauren. We have been making ceramic tiles which will be assembled into a mural to display as a legacy piece. The students have thoroughly enjoyed the process and we have all learnt a lot. The tiles were sculpted, then  fired in a kiln, and then glazed. They will now go into the kiln again for their final firing.
​PLC have been busy too. We explored collage and the students all had lots of fun.

Everyone has started term 2 well. With the help of my Art Captains we got our YYLC Drip Mural up on the wall. 
The YYLC students also began to explore the Art Element of Line through cross hatching. The results were amazing.

The PLC students were introduced to watercolour pencils this term to decorate their flowers for our whole school Harmony Week project. I am sure you will agree they did a wonderful job.

This term we have all hit the ground running. It has been fantastic to have such a busy art room with so much amazing art being made.
PLC - The new Preps have been amazing. They have been learning about primary and secondary colours and we have already had fun using paint to mix colours.
SLC - The SLC students showed their amazing collaboration skills by creating a vibrant City Collage. I was so proud of how beautifully they worked together.
CLC - We explored Roman Mosaics, by creating our own paper mosaic pieces. We did this by first painting our pages to be cut up for tiles and then creating our pieces.
YYLC - Using the work of Jen Stark for inspiration, students worked independently or in pairs to create pieces for our drip mural.  Our goal is to turn all the pieces into a cohesive mural by the end of term.
