During Term four, Foundation students will develop their creative skills through a combination of 2D and 3D visual art practices. A key focus will be exploring 3D construction, introducing students to basic sculptural techniques, form, structure, balance and spatial awareness. They will also be experimenting with some fun and festive projects, where students will create Christmas-themed artworks using a variety of materials, techniques and personal ideas. These final works will encourage creativity and experimentation 

During Term four, Grade 1 students will explore a variety of fun and creative visual art activities, developing their confidence and skills through hands-on making. Students will be experimenting with different materials to build, join and create a 3D construction. They will explore ideas such as shape, structure, texture, balance and space while using their imagination to design their own artworks.  To finish the term, students will create a range of Christmas-themed artworks, exploring festive colours, patterns, textures and materials. These activities will encourage creativity and experimentation,  

During Visual Arts in Term Four, Grade Two students will explore the concept of printmaking and the techniques and materials to produce this type of design.

They will experiment with pattern, texture and repeated marks to develop their designs. Students will extend their knowledge of collage, combining different materials and techniques to create playful and imaginative artworks.    :)Ms. Pemberton

This will provide them with opportunities to develop their creativity, construction skills and confidence in artistic design.  :) Ms. Pemberton

During Visual Arts in Term four, Grade 6 students will investigate the traditional Japanese collage art form of Notan, and the relationship between positive and negative spaces on a page. Through intricate paper cutting, thoughtful design and composition, students will attempt to create balance and harmony into their own Japanese Notan Art designs. They will finish the semester with a foil embossing project inspired by their new-found knowledge of Helen Keller. Students will create designs then used wooden and recycled art tools to emboss pieces of metal that they had prepared to be used safely.  :)Ms. Pemberton
