This term all Learning Communities have been exploring Line and Shape. Obviously, this looks very different for each age group.
Our Preppies made some wonderful colourful Spring Flowers whaich was an excellent way to sho9w off their strong cutting skills.
SLC have created a lot of 3D work this term, using line and shape to build paper sculptures. I hope all the families have enjoyed seeing these artworks be brough home.
CLC have created some amazing work this term, one of which explored reflections in water. 
YYLC explored shape with a fun but challenging Optical Illusion artwork.

This term has flown by with so much creativity and skills being displayed in Visual Art lessons.
The PLC students practiced their cutting skills and colour mixing. They also threaded beads onto elastic which has been put together as a large collaborative work. This will hang in the office as part of our Harmony Week display.
SLC have had a very special term with Indigenous aertist, Nikki-Lee Browne in the Deadly Arts program. Is has been wonderful having Nikki with us this term. I am sure the students will all miss her. Keep an eye out next term for some wonderful signs in our gardens depicting the seven Wurundjeri seasons and decorated with the wonderful artwork created throughout the program.
Still life fruit and Roman mosaics were the theme of CLC's main work this term. The students designed theit still life of fruit, painted some paper to get the colour for their 'tiles' and then created amazing mosaic designs.
YYLC used the work of Australian artist, Pete Cromer for inspiration this term. Just like CLC they painted some pages for colour and then cut them up to make a mosaic in the style of Pete Cromer's work.

I hope everyone has a lovely break. Enjoy some examples of the wornderful work created this term.

Term 1: SLC

This term our SLC students are very fortunate to be participating in the Deadly Arts program during their weekly Visual Arts lessons. Inidgenous artist, Nikki-Lee Browne, will be working with myself and our students all term. We will be focusing on the seven Wurundjeri seasons. We have already looked at 2 seasons the Iuk Eel seasons and the Waring wombat season. The students have been so curious and creative. At the end of this project, we will be creating permanent signs representing all the seasons which will be installed in the gardens around our school. This signs will display the wonderful work of our SLC students.
