To begin the year in Art, all students participated in a whole school art project where they drew their own unique portrait using one colour. As a combined piece of art it truly is a masterpiece and really showcases the talents and abilities of our students. 

Foundation - Over the last few weeks we have explored several different elements of art including line, shape, colour and pattern. The students have experimented with these to create their own drawings of interest including animals, insects, plants and people. 

Juniors - Students have been learning and using a range of different elements such as line, shape, colour to add greater detail to their drawings.This includes different lines such as wavy, zigzag and straight and geometric or organic (freeflowing) shapes to improve drawings of their choice like houses, dinosaurs and people. They have also been exploring the primary and secondary colours on the colour wheel and learning how to effectively use colour in their drawings. Using all these elements of lines and shapes they were able to incorporate patterns into their drawing create mechanicals drawing such as spaceships, robots and vehicles. 

Middles and Seniors - Students have been focusing on particular elements in art such as line, shape, colour and pattern. They have been experimenting with these elements and using them in different ways to create images. They have learnt that all pictures are made up of a series of lines and shapes and that once they are combined together in different ways, they create an image. 

They are exploring how colours combined together create many different shades and tones and how to use these in their work when creating more detailed pictures. Students are creating a final piece of work that showcase these elements of art, which can be seen by all soon.
