Lines – Receptions

The reception classes have been learning how to make different lines in art. We read the book ‘Ish’ by Peter Reynolds and talked about how we can make different lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, zig-zag, wavy, curly…

They also learnt a song about lines. Very catchy tunes.

Then they drew different lines using oil pastels and then a wash of various colours over the top.

Well done everyone 🙂

Mouse Art – Receptions

The receptions listened to a story called ‘The not so quiet mouse’ by Ruth Waters.

We discussed using inside and outside voices and most importantly listening in class when the teacher is talking.

As an activity the students did a guided drawing of a mouse. They had to listen and carefully follow the instructions, whilst also giving it their best effort. Here are some of the Receptions amazing work.

Well done to all the great work from them. Wonderful pictures!!!!

Yr 1’s – Aboriginal Art

The Yr 1 class earlier this term learnt about Indigenous Aboriginal art and how and why they were created. We read several dreamtime stories and learnt about some symbols used to tell stories. The students then experimented making their own Aboriginal inspired artwork.

Well done everyone. Lots of care taken when placing the dots together!

Year 2 – 3D sculptures ‘Form’

The Year 2 students have been learning about the element of ‘Form & Space’. They looked at 3D sculptures and learnt about what makes a sculpture a sculpture! This activity was to create an interesting sculpture using paper to manipulate into a 3D piece of art. They learnt ways to fold, twist, cut, bend, curl… the paper, to create interesting angles and shapes using various sizes and coloured strips.

Create concentration and imagination everyone! Well done:)

Receptions – Ted Harrison inspired artwork, based on the story ‘The Rainbow Bear’.

In class we read the story ‘The Rainbow Bear’ by  S.M.King. We then looked at the artwork by famous Canadian Artist Ted Harrison. We talked about the simple lines, shapes and how he used warm & cool colours in his work. The students created this mixed media collage artwork.

I love all the wonderful expressions the polar bears have. They have turned out beautiful! Well done 🙂

Yr 3/4 ‘Value’ – ice cream scope art

The Year 3/4 classes have been learning about the element of art ‘Value’ ( the darkness/lightness of a hue). They experimented with shading and increasing the values by applying firmer pressure with the 2B lead pencils. Some very neat shading and persistence needed for creating the different values.

Well done everyone! They turned out great 🙂
