YEAR 3 MAPPING


In the art room year 3 has been looking at the landscape paintings of Australian artists John Olsen and Fred Williams.  Students have been practising their blending techniques and creating sharp edges with acrylic paints.  Year 3 students cut out a part of a map of Sydney to glue onto art paper and then created fields of different colours around it.  Year 3 devised their own key for what they included on their maps.  A couple of items were mandatory ie A river, roads, houses, trees and a park.  Students decided how they wanted to represent the features of their map and used posca pens to portray this.  I think they have created wonderful contemporary images.
