Year 5 Visual Arts Incursion – Meet the Artist
Last week, our Year 5 students were visited by local artist Andrea McLaughlin for a special Visual Arts incursion. Andrea shared her experiences as an artist and brought in a selection of her original artworks for students to view up close.
Students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn about Andrea’s creative process, particularly how she uses animal photography as inspiration for her paintings. They began developing skills in grid drawing and sketching as the first steps toward creating their own animal artworks.
In the coming weeks, students will continue learning painting techniques to bring their animals to life!
Year 2 – Old Joe’s Creek Artworks
Following their excursion to Old Joe’s Creek in Term 2, the Year 2 students have now completed their stunning artworks. Using symbols to represent the plants and animals they observed on Wurundjeri land, each piece reflects their learning about Indigenous culture and caring for Country.
Help Us Create Our New School Mascot!
Some classes have already started designing their ideas in Art lessons and now it’s time to open the mascot design competition to everyone! See the flyer below for how to get involved.
