Visual Arts is a valuable part of our schools curriculum. Students in all year levels work with a specialist art teacher on various projects such as murals and mosaics to be displayed around the school. Year 2, 3,
and 4 have timetabled specialist art lessons all year once a fortnight in visual arts.
Year 1 and 5 have timetabled specialist art lessons for one
semester once a fortnight. Students engage in a wide variety of
media during art lessons including; ceramics, printmaking,
painting, collage and drawing. Our school hosts art extension programs involving students from other schools within our district.
The program we offer is the envy of other schools. We are
bombarded with images from every angle today more than any time
before. Our students need to know how to understand and make
sense of these images. Technology is progressing so much that
when our current cohort of students hit the workforce, they will
need skills that have not yet been invented. They are going to
need to be able to be creative and innovative in the world that
lies ahead of them. Art skills will carry our children far in
tomorrows world. |
