Long Room |
During Week 7 of Term 3, the school conducted an
Art Exhibition of art work produced by students during the
Art Electives
workshops held the previous week. The Art Exhibition was held in the
Long Room, a double portable classroom recently converted into a single
Music/Drama area. To view students artwork, please click on thumbnails
on this page to view full size photos of the exhibition. |
During the Exhibition, parents, students and
visitors were welcome to browse through the collection of "Art of
Other Cultures." The Exhibition was open both during school hours
and also after school when students were able to show their parents
through the exhibition. During the exhibition, students studied various
aspects of the culture from which their art work was derived, as well as
responding to the exhibition through observation and discussion.
The exhibition was tied into Public
Education Week and National Literacy and Numeracy Week. All
teachers used the exhibition to help students understand the cultural
contexts from which art is derived, analyse the artwork and provide
their personal responses to it. This is an important focus of our
new curriculum framework. When students are communicating their
learning in the visual arts with the literacy skills of speaking,
writing and drawing, they are making significant learning connections to
the world around them.
The overwhelming positive comments about
our world art exhibition reflect a view held by all that participated:
that the electives program, which produced these great efforts, was
fantastic. Once again our congratulations go to our students,
staff and parents who worked to create such an impressive array of art!
We would particularly like to thank Barb
Williams and Heather Bath for their enormous efforts to organise and
coordinate the electives and the exhibition. A number of talented
parents also contributed significantly by running electives and we wish
to thank them all for their fabulous contributions.
