Art

Posted: 27th September 2024

The students have been buzzing with excitement over the launch of our new Art & Design Curriculum! Focusing on both traditional and modern mediums, the program will encourage creativity and self-expression while helping students build practical skills.

Our Pre-Prep students kicked things off by celebrating International Dot Day, inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot. They explored different techniques, including drawing, painting, and oil pastel resist, to create vibrant dots now proudly displayed outside the new Art Room.

Year 3 has been learning how to highlight and shade with oil pastels, drawing doves inspired by Picasso and International Peace Day. Year 4 has focused on lines, shading, and focal points for their autumn-themed project. Year 5 is diving into lessons on tone and value, while Year 6 has been exploring the science of colour and mixing a full spectrum of colours (ask them why printers use CMYK ink!).

The energy and creativity in the Art Room are truly inspiring as students immerse themselves in these projects. We are excited to see their artistic journeys unfold throughout the year. With each lesson, they are not only developing valuable artistic skills but also gaining a deeper appreciation for the power of creativity in the world around them. We can’t wait to share more of their amazing work with the school community in the coming months!
