Artist of the Week

K – 2 Artists of the Week

Olivier Maraldo – 1W

Olivier made discoveries about aerial view in landscape painting. He was able to create a drawn then painted view of the city with symbols for the road, parkland water and factories.

Nicholas Churchin – KB

Nicholas thought about creatures that find shelter in a tree. His crayon and Edicol Dye picture of a tree held hidden windows under which he carefully drew tiny animals such as a spider, bird and possum.

Years 3 – 6 Artists of the Week

Year 3

In conduction with their Science subject on ‘Light’, Year 3 painted sunsets using poster paint and wax resist. The students were excited to be mixing sunset colours and learning about silhouettes.

Edson Whattam – 3F

Noah Da Silva – 3G

Year 4

Year 4 have been studying ‘simple machines’. Students were lucky enough to walk to the senior school to draw a Lotus car. Lachlan Harmer’s work is a good example of observational drawing mixed with some fantasy painting techniques.

Year 6
