Getting creative on Prep Art Day

Throughout the day on Wednesday 17 May, students in Years 3 to 6 embarked on an exciting day of creativity, sampling different artistic mediums on Prep Art Day.

Inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt, Years 3 and 4 came together in the Prep Hall to work with pattern in putting together block patterns, making leaves with peculiar textures and spinal wool collages. In other areas of the School, Year 6 replicated famous paintings on silk and used artist Tony Cragg as an inspiration for colourful instalments, collages and clay miniature sculptures. Year 5 used the inspiration of contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama to create interesting dot patterns and vibrant colour on paper.

The annual Prep Art Day is a flagship event for Prep students and they thoroughly enjoyed getting to grips with different kinds of media and finding inspiration from classic and modern art. You can see pictures from the day in the below Flickr album.
