Artist of the Week

K – 2 Artist of the Week

Alexander thought about the idea of a foggy day. He then used a collage technique layering grey and brown card with tracing paper and black crayon overdrawing. Alexander’s carefully finished work successfully portrays Mount Fuji on a foggy day.

Years 3-6 Artist of the Week

Year 3

Students in year 3 were discovering The Great Barrier Reef National Park. Students created tropical fish out of clay after completing observational drawings in their VAPDs. Students were taken throughout the tricky process of joining the clay, smoothing and making scales using various tools.

These boys were able to glaze their fish using bright colours as well as enhancing the texture created.

Well Done boys.

Year 5

These artists of the week from Year 5 were very difficult to choose from, as all Year 5 surpassed themselves creating works about their personal and cultural identity. Students appreciated “Brett Whiteley’s “Self Portrait in a Studio”, and discovered that the artist had placed various things in his studio that had meant something to him. These objects were painted in his unique style.

Students were taken through a number of explicit drawing activities, as well as some intuitive grey scale painting. Students were asked to bring in objects that could be incorporated into their artworks which reflected their cultural/and or personal identity.

Congratulations to Year 5 for completing a challenging piece that kept them on their toes the whole time.

Well Done Year 5.
