Howard Arkley inspired Houses

Kindergarten created bright houses in the style of Australian artist, Howard Arkley. Kindy also looked at the following interactive game online:

Roaring Lions

Sun Showers

Kindergarten drew a horizon, rain drops, puddles and a rainbow. 

We looked at the 6 colours in the rainbow:

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

A blue wash was added on top using Edible food dye mixed with water.

Apples

Kindergarten drew apples and painted them with watercolours. 
Some students draw the apple whole, others drew the apples cut in half, revealing the seeds inside. 
Once dry, the students added highlights (shiny spots!) with chalk pastel.
The apples and a strip of calico, to represent an apple basket, were glued to green or red paper.

Art Show 2012

Opening Night and Auction

What a fantastic evening! 

Thank you to all the staff and parents for all their support. 

Not forgetting the students for their outstanding efforts in Visual Arts.

Looking forward to the next Art Show in 2014!

Dots

Kindergarten have been learning about Dot painting in art, from traditional Aboriginal painting, Pointillism and Pop Art. We read the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and watched the animation on YouTube. 

Kindy have been doing their own dot pictures using a lot of bright colours, including primary and secondary colours, and using different materials to make dots.

 

 

Kindy also painted the negative space of a dot with watercolours. We used paper plates to leave the dot area white.
