Artist of the Week

Years K – 2 Artists of the Week

This week’s Artists of the Week are Edward Armstrong-Bailey (1W) and Charles Auld (1W). Edward cut, collaged and layered tracing paper and black and brown paper to give the idea of Mt Fuji on a foggy day. Charles experimented with the watercolour techniques of ‘painting over wet paper, dry brush and bleeding’ as well light and dark lines, to paint a scene with Mt Fuji. Fantastic effort from both Year 1 boys.

Years 3 – 6 Artists of the Week

Year 3

Year 3 were lucky enough to hold a showcase last week. Students had been looking at lines and shapes in John Olsen’s work. After observing a variety of his works based on frogs, students completed a brush and ink work that imitated the watery lines and exaggerated shapes of his frogs. Well done to all Year 3 for their hard work making this painting.

Year 4

Year 4 completed their ‘Can Cars’ based around their study of installation artist, Simryn Gill. Students observed car logos, numbers, and designs to create interesting and unique machines.

James Gestakovski 4V

Year 5

Year 5 completed their ‘Identity and Pop Art’ mashups last week. This was a long project with many small parts that made up the whole. Well done to the new boys who have been listening, observing and managing their way around the art classroom.
