This term in Creative Arts, our students have been developing their art skills with Mrs Noden! 🧑🎨🎨 Kindergarten students have been learning to explore and create lines and patterns. They enjoy using paints to create their artworks. Stage 1 students have been learning about the colour wheel. They have used primary colours to create an artwork inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian. Stage 2 students have been exploring lines and patterns. They have created an artwork of Uluru inspired by the artist Bronwyn Bancroft. Stage 3 students have been exploring different artists and examining their techniques to inspire their own artwork. Currently, students are working on a landscape artwork inspired by the artist Vincent van Gogh.

Year 6 had a great time working collaboratively and creatively in Visual Arts this week. This is our second week of working with Mrs Pettonen from the CAPTIVATE team. After analysing the art of American photographer, Christopher Boffoli, students used iPads and miniature figurines to think outside the box and create a range of interesting photos using everyday objects from within their classroom. We are looking forward to learning new skills as the term continues!
