Visual Arts 

” Never leave a painting mediocre; it's better to take a chance with it.” -- Guy Corriero.

That is both scary and liberating, as the students have been discovering. This term, they studied the works of artists from different cultures and used what they learnt to inform their own artwork. Using watercolour paint, the students have focussed on the art elements of line and colour and the art principle of repetition when creating their artworks. It is exciting watching these young artists at work. They are keen to develop their skills and knowledge and willingly take on advice given to help improve their work. Their work will be on display in the library later this term.

Digital Literacy 

Throughout this term, the F-5 students have been researching about Mars. The purpose of the research is to inform their project work on designing a toy or gadget that a child their age could take to Mars. The students have worked individually and in small groups throughout the research process. They are now at the stage of creating their prototype on the 3D printing program, Maker’s Empire. Once completed, their designs will be printed out and I will have to make the difficult choice of choosing 3 to be sent to Adelaide for the competition.  

These drawings show some of the planning the students need to do before they even start creating in Maker’s Empire.
