ART This term, our students delved into the captivating world of animals, exploring their uniqueness through the lenses of artists such as William Hawkins, Henri Rousseau, and Gwen John. Inspired by their distinct styles, our students were guided through a journey of exploring their individual creativity, each creating a piece resembling one of the artists we focused on. As the weeks progressed, our focus shifted to the hands-on creation of collages, influenced by the abstract expressionist Lee Krasner. This medium allowed students to refine their skills, experiment with composition, texture, and layering over many weeks—an essential step in the learning process. By revisiting their own pieces each week, students added to their work, giving them the opportunity to imbue meaning, form memories, and develop a sense of each piece's value and significance. This term was brimming with artistic exploration, where our students not only learned about animals but also discovered the power of their own creativity. |
