Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

This year Knox Westfield contacted us to ask if we were interested in decorating two stars to be displayed at Knox Shopping Centre. Of course we said “Yes”.

Some very talented and committed Year 5 and 6 artists spent several recesss, lunchtimes and afternoons designing and painting these beautiful stars.

The brief was ‘Starry Starry Night’, so we decided to paint one of the stars in the style of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Nicky drew and painted Santa’s sleigh and reindeers flying across the sky. Lara, Cara, Alexa and Michaela added a Christmas tree, elves and presents. Everyone helped to paint the sky and stars in the style of Van Gogh.

We decided to do the Nativity on the other star, in keeping with the brief we went with a night time version. Marilyn designed the nativity scene and Emily S,  Yvonne, Parthi and Kayden drew and painted angels and the surrounding hills.

Well done everyone they look awesome.

We don’t know whereabouts in the centre they will be displayed, so if  you’re shopping at Knox keep your eye out and see if you can find them.

Year 5 and 6 artists are just completing a unit on Street Art. The last artist they explored was Keith Haring and after drawing a joyful artwork in his style they created a clay wall hanging of a figure. These have been a lot of fun to make. Next week they will use Paint pens to decorate the figure. Super work

 

These clever Grade 1/2 artists designed and then created 3D Worry Eating Monsters.
There were no worries at all making these, everyone did a great job.

Super proud of themselves and their work.

Well done everyone.

 

Year 3 and 4 students have been working diligently every week to create small woven wall hangings. They all persisted through any difficulties and achieved great results. They also learnt how to make a Pom Pom (or two, or three) using their fingers. 
I’m super proud of all their hard work!

 

Another batch of amazing Dreamtime Dioramas and some very proud Year 3/4 artists.

 

Some more  3/4 artists with their amazing finished Dreamtime story Dioramas.
So proud of their hard work!

 

The amazing Year 3 and 4 students have created Dreamtime Dioramas based on a Dreamtime story they wrote during their class literacy sessions.
After investigating the art work of author and illustrator Gregg Dreise the students created the diorama and then made the animals in the story using magiclay.

These look sensational, they should be very proud of their hard work.
This is just a few of the ones that have been completed.

In the Artroom the students across the school have been investigating colour theory.

The Grade prep artists created some wonderful Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer portraits this week.

Grade One artists created some beautiful Christmas Angels

And the amazing Year 4 artists created stunning Collage stockings.

Grade Six students spent a few art sessions sewing mini emoji or donut cushions. They learnt how to make and use a paper pattern and how to do ‘Whip stitch’ they did a super job and were very proud of themselves.

This week the fabulous Grade 2 artists created Fish. They used colour, lines and shapes to create a fish that conveyed a feeling. See if you can guess the feelings. 
These artworks made me feel happy, amazed and grateful for my wonderful students. 😊🤩🥰

The amazing Grade one artists created artworks that showed an emotion this week. They used line, colour and shapes to create a ghost artwork that conveyed an emotion of their choice. 
All of these made me feel really happy 😆 

 

 

Congratulations to the Grade 5 artists and the Year Six Art Leaders whose Modroc Totem animals have been accepted to be exhibited at the zart art gallery. The gallery is above the shop in Lexton Road Box Hill North.

Congratulations to all the Holy Trinity artists, your work was wonderful, everyone should feel very proud of themselves.

Well done to the amazing art leaders who spoke so beautifully and created some amazing art and who also worked so hard to help set up the show, I could not have done it without you.

To Signora Formichellii and the talented singing group. What a super video, I think you showcased the joy and happiness of being an Australian through the song and music video.

Thank you to all the class teachers who guided you to create some amazing work in class time.

Thank you to all the teachers and staff who helped me with set up and made the show a wonderful community night.

I can’t wait for 2024😊
