We spent time in class sharing our knowledge, thoughts and feelings about the meaning of this significant day in Australia's history. Students looked at a range of artworks which had been created as memories, reactions and to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers.
They then created their own artworks from these inspirations to pay respect and show their acknowledgement of this important time in history.
Prep and Grade One
Students listened to the story "Lest we forget". They used oil pastels to create the landscape background. Poppies were created using kinder squares, scissors and glue showing their developing fine motor skills.
Grade's 1/2 and 2/3
Perspective drawing was practiced in this artwork, recognising and interpreting distance. They were created using oil pastels.
Grade 5/6
The well recognised Australian artist Sidney Nolan and his 'Gallipoli" collection, depicting paintings of soldiers from the World War One landing were explored during Visual Art class. Grade 5 and 6 students created their own portrait paintings inspired by this iconic artist, adding their own personal feelings and thoughts of how they portrayed a soldier of this time to be.
