K – 2 Artist of the Week

Kevin Feeney 1S

Kevin looked at works by Pablo Picasso. He then cut and collaged a 3D box head to fracture the image and make it flat. Kevin completed the work by carefully selecting and pasting a decorative outside edge.

Years 3 – 6 Artist of the Week

It’s been a very busy couple of weeks in the art department.

Year 6 finished their topic on ‘Warriors’. They created clay busts based on the idea of warriors through the ages. Congratulations to Zack McGeechan, Elliott O’Connor, Henry Goodfellow and Alexander Radin for some superb examples of these works.

Year 5 completed mind-bending ‘Gold’ weavings, using different source materials, including photos and Chinese silk. These materials were symbolic of ideas and images that existed on the gold fields. This topic related closely to their experience at camp last term.

Well done to Stefano Otavio, Jaxon Jarvis and Oliver Kleppitch.

A special mention goes to Aaron Mueller for his ‘Shakespeare sword’. His sword from last term’s ‘Shakespeare week’ was interesting and beautiful.

Year 3 completed Halloween spooky house paintings. Students are learning about different types of celebrations. Congratulations to Dante Zappacosta who painted a sensitive and interesting spooky house.
