Artist of the Week

K – 2 Artists of the Week

Khai Vu 2B

This week Year 2 watched Anne Boyd’s Goldfish Through Summer Rain as part of their Unit on Japanese Art. The boys used this as the inspiration for creating their own mixed media Koi Ponds and the finished pieces are beautiful. Congratulations to Khai Vu of 2B for his fantastic artwork Koi Through Summer Rain.

Years 3 – 6 Artists of the Week

The artists of the week come from Year 5. They created interesting and quirky ceramic monsters, based on the work of James de Rosso. The boys were also mindful of their work on ‘Change’. These monsters evolved from the use of images, discussions and videos. The boys also needed to problem solve various concepts to do with physics, thinking about the weight, height and malleability of the clay. The boys then glazed their work using an underglaze and a gloss glaze.

Congratulations to all the boys in Year 5 for their perseverance and adaptability during this project.

Particular congratulations go to Elvis Johnson, Samuel Hopwood, Jake Tollemache, Henry Alexander and Sacha De Rosnay.
