Creative arts

Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. 

In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.

Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.

Year 5 and 6 students have been working collaboratively in pairs to create a '3D abstract, Construction, balance Sculpture'.

The students have been enthusiastically involved with making artistic decisions together, after considering concepts such as identifying the features of abstract art and using shape, colour and pattern repetitions or themes to create cohesion in their art work. They also practised skills such as physical balancing and card construction joining techniques. In addition, students practised working creatively and constructively in pairs.

Year 5 and 6 were very proud of their results and may have rightly felt that their artwork was worthy of a place in a modern art gallery. What do you think?
