As part of their unit on famous artists, students in grades 3 and 4 learned about the work of Frida Kahlo, a Mexican painter whose work is well known and loved by many around the world.
Students studied Frida's self-portraits, and learned about the many obstacles she faced throughout her life. Students managed to capture the essence of Frida in their beautiful portraits, and used a combination of oil pastels and paint to create these works of art. A fantastic way to celebrate the life and work of Frida Kahlo!
As part of their unit on natural disasters, students in grades 5 and 6 learned about the Black Saturday bushfires, and the devastating affect these fires had on several towns in Victoria in 2009. Students created these profoundly moving landscapes using a combination of paint, charcoal, chalk pastels and oil pastels. An excellent use of colour, light and shadow to evoke mixed feelings in these pieces. Well done grade 5 and 6!
As part of their unit on famous artists, students in grades 3 and 4 studied the work of Vincent Van Gogh. We looked at an interactive animation of Van Gogh's most famous painting, 'Starry Night'. Students were intrigued and delighted to learn about Van Gogh and his unique style of painting. Students created these wonderful starry night landscapes, blending colours and creating a sense of movement with their brushstrokes. A fantastic effort!
Students in grades 3 and 4 have been learning about famous artists. Students studied the work of Henri Matisse, an artist well known for his use of bold colours and lines in his paintings. Students found inspiration from Matisse's 'The Goldfish' and created their own beautiful works of art.
