K-2 Artists of the Week

Term 4 – Week 1

Year 2 have continued their Unit of Work on Still Life by exploring the artwork of Henri Matisse – Still Life with Pineapples and Lemons.  The boys used this artwork as inspiration as well as fresh pineapples to create detailed observational drawings.  Zane, Leo and Alessandro experimented with pearlescent watercolour to add colour to their work and enjoyed exploring this new medium.  Well done, boys!

3 – 6 Artists of the Week

Year 3 completed their ‘Dragon’ artwork in conjunction with their reading of ‘Rowan of Rin’. The boys experimented with poster paint, acrylic paint and pencil to create their own version of a dragon.

Congratulations to Zain Hammoud and Maksim Stevanovski for their amazing dragons.

Year 5 also completed their weaving artworks based on the idea of the ‘Gold seam’. The boys used a variety of materials as part of an abstract fibre unit.

Congratulations to  Kevin Feeney, Nathan Chong and Sebastian Wong for their inspiring pieces.

Year 6 also completed digital work based on the artwork of De Kathryn Barton. These humanoid animal pieces were a result of using an app called ‘Sketchbook edu’. The boys were taught layering, colour and composition within their artworks.

Congratulations to Finlay FitzSimons and James Rodgers for their interesting and thought provoking artworks.
