YEAR 1 LINE

Year 1 practised their understanding of line, one of the important elements of art.  Students used a variety of line to create these creatures.

YEAR 6 ABSTRACT EXPERIMENTATION

"Form itself, even if completely abstract... has its own inner sound" - Wassily Kandinsky.  Year 6 have been experimenting with Yupo paper, a versatile, new paper.  It is important to create using emotion and abstraction too.  In this exercise students were free to experiment on their sheets of Yupo paper relinquishing a little bit of control to see where this would take them.  These are the beginnings of their experimentation.  Sometimes it is not easy to surrender some control but if you are brave some wonderful things can happen.  Year 6 have been brave.

Kindergarten Printmaking

Kindergarten students are learning about the three Primary colours Red, Yellow and Blue.  They are experimenting with paint and printmaking.  Students painted two primary colours on their background and produced a secondary colour.  After their background was dry students used repetition to print an interesting pattern.  Aren't they colourful and fun!

KINDERGARTEN

It's almost Christmas so it's Reindeer time!  Kindergarten can't wait to take home their beautiful Reindeer.  After all their hard work we turned Stobo Studio into an art gallery and the students wandered around using "art speak" ie. words such as "pattern, primary colours, design, line, texture" to talk about the artwork (Reindeer) they saw.

YEAR 1 Vincent Van Gogh

Year 1 students have learnt a little bit about the artist and art practice of Vincent Van Gogh.  Inspired by his "Bedroom in the Arles" painting, the children created a chair and although there is not a rug in Van Gogh's painting we just couldn't resist imagining and creating one.  

YEAR 6 TIE DYE

The annual year 6 Tie Dye event has taken place!  Look at these fantastic results, I think the students Got It!!
