This term students have been using the Languages Online program to better their Japanese skills in an engaging way. Foundation and Grade 1/2 students in particular have been using the program. Foundation have been using the numbers section and now are working on animals. Whereas Grade 1/2 have been focusing their learning on classroom instructions and now items in their school bag.

We are learning to illustrate using aboriginal dot and line techniques. Illustrating requires us to where two hats- an artist and a story-teller.
The students are thinking about: WHO- characters, WHAT- the action and WHERE- the setting as they create an art work about a part of the story “The Eagle Inside” by Jack Manning Bancroft.
We are learning to layer dots and revising colour theory to add emphasis to certain parts eg. painting a warm colour dot on top of a cool colour dot.

Thanks for sending these pics in of Yvonne’s work Wendy. It’s terrific to see the students being inspired to do art at home based on what we have been learning in the Art room!!
