K-2 Artist of the Week

Year 1 worked in oil pastel and watercolour to explore a creative representation of the sun.  They made excellent use of a variety of lines to indicate the movement of light and heat.  Cooper, Oscar and Logan demonstrated pleasing craftsmanship and stretched their creativity to explore multiple ways of representing the sun.  Well done!

Years 3-6 Artist of the Week

The Artist of the Week comes from Year 6. The Year 6 boys went on a tour of Stanmore Graffiti. They took photos on their Ipads and were then able to manipulate them on the app Pic Collage. The boys researched images by the Artist ‘Mulga’ and then were able to create amazing street images after looking at his work.

The artist ‘Mulga’ came in for a guest appearance and the boys were also able to participate in a Gorilla drawing workshop.

The boys used the photos of their work to create a layered print on grained paper.

Congratulations to Sam Rudd for his beautiful printed work.

Year 5 also attended a STEAM excursion at the MCA on Monday.  The boys were taken through the exhibition about the ‘Past, Present and Future’ They then went on to complete a workshop combining technology to create an adaptation of an animal. Well done to the boys of Year 5 for their enthusiasm and participation in this excursion.
