In conjunction with their Science unit on planets this term Year 5 students created artwork using acrylic paint and soft pastels to achieve a 3D effect in space!

Year 2 Torn Paper Portraits

Years 5 & 6: One-Liners

Many modern artists explored one-liners as a way of playing with line. Students had fun trying their hand at drawing simple pictures using one line, i.e. never lifting their pen from the page!

Year 2 Recycled Owls

Students created a mixed media picture with oil and soft pastels and cut up newspaper to make delightful owls!

Prep & Year 1: Little Owls

Prep and Year 1 students first listened to the story of Little Owl. Little Owl falls from his nest. He wants to discover "woo" he is and tries to be like other Australian animals. He soon realises he is an owl and finds his way back to his mother. Students drew an owl outline, branch, stars and a moon, then tore paper to make owl feathers for their own Little Owl.

Years 3 & 4: Paul Klee-inspired Cat & Bird

Students listened to the fun and colourful story of The Cat and the Bird,  based on Paul Klee's painting, Cat & Bird.  They drew their own Klee cat and bird with oil pastel  and added colour with food dye wash.
