All students from Prep to year 6 participate in dedicated Visual Arts sessions each week at GK. In the Visual Art classes children will work with a wide range of materials and equipment encompassing drawing, painting, clay modelling, construction, threads and textiles and art appreciation. All efforts will be made to display children's work on a variety of platforms.
In our beautiful and highly functional ART ROOM, our students develop skills and knowledge of the arts, explore ideas and respond accordingly. Our passionate Art teacher believes that The Arts provide students with the development of aesthetic awareness and a broad range of cognitive, language, personal and social skills as well as skills used at work and in leisure activities. These provide a range of unique experiences for all students that are essential for their total development. The Arts Program will provide opportunities for all children to experience success and develop a positive attitude.
The program is developmental in nature and based on the Victorian Curriculum. It makes links with the integrated curriculum units including other cultures and values. The children's progress and achievement in the Visual Arts is aligned with the standards in the Victorian Curriculum and will be assessed by two half yearly reports.
