Term 2 already...

Term One is ending and we will all take a well deserved break. The students all worked so hard this term and produced some amazing work. I have seen many students challenge themselves with their art this term with some outstanding results.
In Term Two we will move onto two new Elements of Art; Line and Shape.
PLC: We will explore naming lines and repeating lines to create patterns. We will also explore the link between shape and emotions.
SLC: The students will create a rainbow city using lines and patterns to decorate it. We will then explore shape through collage to create an echidna and a watercolour dreamscape.
CLC: Students will use the artwork ov Vassili Kadinsky to create their own print and create an abstract shape collage.
YYLC: The students will explore line through foam etching and use the work of Henri Matisse as inspiration for their own collage. They will finish the term creating a rubbing plate and rubbings representing a current world issue.

The Term Two Visual Arts timetable is below. Please note that sometimes there are timetable changes during the term.

Welcome Back! Term 1 2025

Picture
It is so exciting to be back in 2025. I am really looking forward to sharing Visual Arts with all your children this year.
Term One will be all about settling in and reviewing our MPPS CARE values. We will also explore the first Element of Art; Colour and Colour Value.
PLC: We will explore the link between colour and emotions and colour and diversity.
SLC: We will begin to explore colour value by using tints (adding white to a colour to make it lighter) and shades (adding black to a colour to make it darker).
CLC: We will explore colour while creating a 3D collage and then look at colour value in a monochromatic landscape (a painting using only one colour and white (to make tints) and black (to make shades)
YYLC: We will begin with a collaborative mural inspired by street art and then create a piece inspired by the work of Australian artist, Ken Done. 

I hope that all the students are ready for another fun and creative year of Visual Arts. I have attached the Term One Visual Arts timetable below. Please note that this may change as the term progresses.
