K – 2 Artist of the Week

Edward Armstrong Bailey KV
Edward experimented with clay for the first time in the Art Room. He used a variety of tools including a garlic press to create a wonderful sculpture of Splat the Cat. Edward later finished his work by spraying it with diluted black acrylic paint.

Kian Chan 2S
Kian listened carefully to information about friends and how they use the internet wisely. He then created a poster that gave information on the topic. Kian was able to use water-colour oil pastel neatly in this work.

3 – 6 Artist of the Week

Year 4
Year 4 spent an exciting lesson looking at the 16th Century painter G Archimboldo. This artist used themes of food, or animals to make up interesting images of faces.

Year 4 spent their last week of Term 1 studying the topic ‘Simple Machines’. And thus, in art, we created machine faces out of black and white photocopies of cogs and wheels. Students collaged these  various images to create interesting and comical faces similar to Archimboldo. Students also were challenged to think creatively with their layering technique, as well as the use of wire to create 3D images on their work.
