Year 8 Visual Art

Painting is always an exciting part of any Visual Art course. The chance to create colour and apply it to your own composition using paint is a traditional staple to learning and experiencing art making. 

Year 8 Visual Art students had their opportunity to use acrylic paints interrupted due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than changing the course entirely and starting a new project, this task was reimagined and adapted to embrace the traditional painting elements but through an online medium, as part of the Connected Learning Model.

Year 8 VA students completed their Thomas Fedro painting task by having it realized as a public art display, in the form of a collaged paste up on the school grounds.

After watching the time lapse video of the installation together, the students were able to view their work on display and had the opportunity to share and celebrate their work with Mr Tavella, who absolutely loves it!

It is wonderful to be able to have student learning on display.
