This week in Art the students were focusing on using lines and colour to create beautiful pieces of art. 

The 1/2 students enjoyed some time in the sun practicing their line work using chalk on a large canvas before returning to the art room to recreate their ideas onto a smaller piece of paper.  The students did a great job trying to use defined lines without smudging their chalk art work.



The 4/5/6 students did scratch art and used defined lines to create lovely indigenous inspired art pieces.



And the 3/4 students wrote their name and things about themselves using swirling lines to join them together without taking the marker off the page.  They then used colours to bring their art work to life!
