This week, the FS1-2 kids learned about symmetry. We explored what symmetry is and how to create symmetrical patterns. We drew shark faces with symmetry, added waves, decorated the waves, and used our creative ideas to draw the backgrounds. Our friends’ sharks look amazing. Well done, everyone!
This week, we created beautiful sea creatures using Eric Carl’s techniques. All of the artworks were amazing. Every time I teach the kids, I learn and get a lot of inspiration from them. I truly appreciate all their great efforts in producing their work. Well done, everyone. You guys are super stars!!
This term, we’ve learned about Vincent van Gogh and explored many historical aspects of his life and art. This week, as we conclude the Van Gogh project, we summarized and analyzed everything about Vincent van Gogh and expressed what inspired us through our writing.
We created beautiful African masks with 2D and 3D shapes. This time, we used a variety of materials, not just paper, but also other materials the students wanted to use. All of the artworks look amazing. Well done, everyone!
This week, the Year7-9 students researched Joan Miró’s life and created six slides. Before making the slides, we determined the title and content for each slide through a PowerPoint outline. After completing the slides, we will look for the most inspiring artwork and then create our own pieces in Joan Miró’s style. We will share and discuss the PowerPoint presentations we created in the next session.
This week, we completed our sun catchers. We strengthened our hand muscles by weaving and braiding yarn. The finished sun catchers seem even prettier as they sparkle. In another activity, we learned about the appearance of hedgehogs and created our own hedgehogs, decorating their spiky quills with coloured paper. Thanks to Mrs. Barbara for helping us braid our yarn and display it!
The Year 1-2 students are learning to use various techniques to depict sea creatures. They applied the collage technique to their drawings and used splattering and dripping methods to express sea life. By experimenting with different materials, they are enhancing their creativity.
The Year3-4 students are continuing their Vincent Van Gogh project. This week, they completed the portrait of Joseph Roulin and spent the remaining time drawing one of Vincent Van Gogh’s well-known works of their choice. The artworks created over the past few weeks will be beautifully displayed. Special thanks to Mrs. Barbara for helping with the display.
Africa has many countries and lots of different cultures. Some cultures use masks in their special ceremonies and celebrations, but not all cultures do. In some African groups, people have used masks for thousands of years. Masks can cover the face or head and come in many styles, shapes, and designs. Some masks might look fierce, funny, or be made for important people. African masks are often geometrical and symmetrical. We looked at masks for inspiration for creating our own masks and started to design.
This week, we took shots for creating the stop motion animation titled “Eating a Watermelon.” Each group came up with fun and different ideas. We will finalize the editing next week.
