Art

The Year 1-2 kids can explain what symmetry is and have used this skill to create patterns on fish. Additionally, they have chosen shapes or images, drawn one half, and completed the other half by considering symmetry.

In Year 3 and 4, the kids have been actively summarizing and analyzing everything about Vincent van Gogh.

They’ve expressed their inspirations through their writing, reflecting on what they’ve learned about him.

They also answered questions about Vincent Van Gogh, demonstrating their understanding and adding insightful analysis to their work.

This week, the kids in Year 5 and 6 learned about positive and negative space in art. They understood how to define these concepts and explored artworks that showcase these skills. Inspired by what they saw, they created their own beautiful artwork, combining various patterns with their amazing imaginations.

This week, we created art in the style of Joan Miró. We learned about the important elements of his work and focused on using bright colors, abstract forms, and playful, symbolic imagery. Miró, a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist, is often associated with the Surrealist movement. His distinctive style involves several key elements and techniques:

Abstract Forms: Miró often used abstract, organic shapes that could evoke both natural and fantastical elements. His shapes are usually bold and whimsical.

Bright Colours: He employed a vibrant colour palette with primary colours (red, blue, yellow) often standing out, creating a sense of joy and spontaneity in his work.

Simplified Figures: His figures are often simplified and stylized, resembling childlike drawings or primitive art. These figures can represent people, animals, or imaginary creatures.

Lines and Dots: Thin, black lines and dots are frequently used to connect various elements in his compositions, creating a sense of movement and connection.

Symbolism: Miró’s work is rich in symbolic meaning. He often incorporated stars, moons, eyes, and other recurring symbols that held personal significance or were intended to evoke certain emotions or thoughts in the viewer.

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!
