Last term saw us finish off our major art piece of the Australian Artist Pete Cromer. We used his artistry style as an inspiration to replicate or inspire our art pieces.

Foundation, Grade 1 & Grade 2 students had the opportunity to recreate Dreambirds and Big Cats. They then had the opportunity to use this piece as an inspiration to create their own Dreambird or Big Cat with their own visions and personalities.

Grades 3/4 & 5/6 had the opportunity to recreate one of Pete's artworks using the method of collage. This saw students creating the artwork from scratch including the mixing of paints to create their colours. They then cut their colours into the appropriate size and shapes and layered them to create a collage. 3/4's used Pete's Australian Animals as their inspiration and 4/5/6's used Pete's Australian Sea Life Animals as their inspiration. It was a large project spaced over 6-7weeks and the students had a great time creating their artwork.

All artwork is on display in the school corridors, which I hope to leave up for the remainder of the year to brighten our corridors, share each others creations and encourage students to feel proud of the work they are creating. 

When you come in for your parent teacher interviews in Week 2 please take the time to admire your child/rens work. I am extremely proud of the work they have created, as I am sure you will be too!

Term 3 will see us finalising our Indigenous Art from Term 2 then moving into the Performing Arts for the remainder of the year.  Mrs Nelson :)
