Welcome back to all our little budding artists and a warm welcome to our
new students and Year 1 classes.
All students are required to have an A3 display folder to store their
artworks in. You can find these at most Big W and K Mart stores as well as
Officeworks. If you haven’t brought one in yet please do so as soon as possible
– Thank you!
Students will also need an art shirt to protect their uniform during art
classes. A massive, thank you, to Miss Amanda Rudd and Marvic Packaging
Australia who, last year, generously donated a huge amount of plastic aprons to
the art room. These aprons are adult size so students will be more comfortable
with one that fits them more appropriately.
Activities and Experiences
Visual Art classes run once a fortnight
as a double session, enabling the students to have an extended period of time
in which to design and create their artworks.
Students
will have opportunities to explore ideas, experiences, observations and
imagination to create visual artworks that will be displayed within the
school. They will use the elements and
principles of art design while experimenting with different materials,
techniques and processes.
Students
will also be provided with opportunities to participate in community art events
and competitions throughout the year.
Visual Art class awards will be presented each
assembly. The most deserving class will be awarded a certificate and
hold the trophy in their class until the next assembly.
Lunchtime Art
Lunchtime Art will be held on Thursday and occasionally Friday
lunchtime this year. Students are more than welcome to come in and finish off
things from Visual Art class, create their own artworks or work collaboratively
on larger projects.
It has been fantastic to see we have already
had multiple students come in and get creative at ‘Lunchtime Art’.
The Arts are an excellent medium for children to express themselves
creatively and I look forward to assisting them develop their skills and create
some amazing masterpieces.
Warm
regards,
Miss Carly Randall
