Hello students and parents!
​
In grade 5/6, we will be exploring how and why artists and designers plan and make art in a range of artforms and come up with ideas.
​
We will look at the work of artists and designers and discuss/explore the wide range of ideas, concepts and viewpoints.
​
We will use artists (historical and contemporary, and from other cultures) to inspire our own art making.
​
We will build upon our knowledge of how to work safely in the art and design classroom, and make good choices for the environment/sustinability in our art making.
