As we dive into Term 4, our young artists have been exploring the expressive world of Abstract Art! This week, they experimented with how different forces like pushing and pulling can bring exciting new textures and movements to their artwork. Through a series of fun, hands-on activities, each student created their own unique collage papers.
Here’s what they worked on:
- Marble Painting: Students were mesmerized as marbles rolled across the paper, leaving vibrant trails that traced their push-and-pull actions.
- String Painting: With paint-dipped strings, students discovered how pulling and lifting could create beautiful swirling lines and patterns.
- Rollers and Sponges: Using different rollers and sponges, they explored how textures and pressures can create truly unique backgrounds and textures.
After creating these beautiful collage papers, the students used them to make vibrant artworks inspired by Australian artist Gabrielle Tito, crafting colourful compositions of flowers in vases. These activities not only sparked creativity but also encouraged a hands-on appreciation of the freedom that abstract art provides. We’re so proud of their artistic journeys so far!
