At Mount Primary School, children have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of skills, techniques and art based processes. Children paint, draw, construct, model, print, weave, sew, observe, reflect and write about the world looking through the lens of the visual arts. Connections to concepts will be openly discussed with children to bring a holistic approach to art and the world around them.
Art lessons are closely connected to the PYP and are written with adherence to the Victorian Curriculum Standards. Students will sometimes align and extend learning from the classroom in art, or, participate in ‘stand-alone’ units that teach specific skills and conventions of art.
We have two beautiful art rooms which are well established and equipped for young artists with a large kiln, and plenty of work benches. It is important all students bring along their art smock at the beginning of the year to protect their clothes.
Throughout the term children’s art work will be displayed throughout the school, giving them the opportunity to be proud of their achievements and discuss what they are doing in art.
We look forward to celebrating the success and joy, that is children’s art.
