The Year 7 students painted these silhouette trees using warm and cool colours. They needed to use watercolour paints to blend 2 warm or cool colours together to create these beautiful paintings.
They have turned out amazing 🙂

The year 7’s earlier this semester took great care in creating their ‘zentangle hair’ drawings. Focusing on the element of Line the students needed to add different thickness, size, and shape lines to their photos.
Some very neat and detailed line work drawn! Well done, some crazy hair 🙂

Last term the students in Yr 7 learnt about the Japanese paper cutting art form called ‘Notan Art’. Many students across the year levels had a go at making their own, by cutting out shapes (positive and negative shapes) from paper.
Here are the Year 7’s work. Some very detailed pieces.
Well Done!!!!
Hello Everyone,
What an interesting year we have had so far!
I want to share some amazing, inspiring artwork that the students have been creating so far this year.
Please look in the ‘Student Work’ folder or specific year level to see the wonderful and colourful talents of Craigburn Primary School students. I am delighted with the artistic talent we have at Craigburn Primary School.
I’m looking forward to uploading future art from the students.
Many Thanks
Miss Manna 🙂
Amazing kinetic sculptures by David C Roy will mesmerise you with his unbelievable wooden sculptures.
Prior – Questions:
Is this art a sculpture?
What is Kinetics?
Why are his sculptures different from other sculptures?
Discuss your thoughts with someone next to you.
Now watch the first video on how he makes his works of art.
Once you have watched the video rethink your answers to the above questions. Enjoy watching the other 3 sculptures he has made.
Activity: create your own Collage & Zentangle picture.
Elements of Art: line, shape
Principles of Art: emphasis, rhythm, contrast
Materials: magazine or a enlarged colour photo of yourself, glue stick, black thin sharpie or marker, A4 white paper
Step 1. Cut out a large face (only the face) or print out a large coloured picture of your face (maybe school photo)
Step 2. Glue face onto blank white A4 paper near middle of page (think of the placement of your face)
Step 3. Draw up some larger lines to break up the background into sections (look closer at the examples above if unsure)
Step 4. Fill in the sections using various lines/patterns (refer to the zentangle designs provided for ideas or create your own).
Step 5. Once you have completed your detailed face design take a photo of it on Seesaw and upload it into the Visual Arts folder.
I’m looking forward to some interesting pictures.
Have fun 🙂
Below is a selection of FREE DRAWING ideas if you are struggling to think of something to draw.
Don’t forget to take a photo of it and upload it on Seesaw under the Visual arts folders.
Have fun 🙂

Activity 1: Notan Art – Japanese art.
Elements of Art: shape
Principle of Art: contrast, balance
You will learn how to make a Notan piece of art and about how shape, contrast and balance work together.
Please look at the elements and principles posters of art under ‘Learning Resources’, so you understand what they are. #Remember darker coloured paper (black, red, dark blue) work the best for creating strong contrast, between the positive & negative shapes.
Materials needed: A4 white paper, dark coloured square paper (13x13cm or 14x14xm), lead pencil, scissors, glue stick.
Place your Notan square paper on the diagonal.
Here is my example of a Notan design you can refer to when making your own. See if you can make a triple cut out design with your shapes. Please create your own designs.
Have fun creating your very detailed Notan Art 🙂
