The Dot Year 7 Art students were involved in a unit of work called “Make a Mark and See What Happens.” They began by watching a short video titled “The Dot”, in which a young girl gains confidence in doing art by starting with a simple dot. Students then investigated the work of Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama, who was famous for her use of dots and patterns to cover entire surfaces, including objects, rooms and even, herself. This led to a series of trials in which students gained skills in observational drawing, as well as using repetition and pattern. For their final drawings, students focused on using the form of a pumpkin, on which they applied a range of colours and patterns. Finally, they had to also consider the “negative space”, or background, as an equally important component of the design. - Seth Seiderman

Mapping My Identity During Remote Learning, Year 7 Art students were involved in an interesting unit of work titled "Mapping My Identity." They explored aspects of their personal and family life such as their cultural backgrounds, hobbies and interests, travels, education and place of residence. They started the design process by completing a mind map in order to get ideas. They then began collecting, digitally altering and printing photos and maps related to their identity. Using their phones, students next took a common "selfie", which they printed and used as a basis for the final piece. They placed the photo on a window and using a second piece of paper, they traced over it with a sharpie or fine liner to locate the outline and key facial features. The collected images and maps were then torn or cut into pieces and collaged on the outline using a glue stick. Finally, the lines were re-drawn over the collaged area to re-establish the basic features. The resultant artworks represent a new, creative and challenging way of depicting, defining and "mapping" individual identity. - Seth Seiderman

Ceramics Students in the Year 7 Art class were introduced to ceramics as part of their exploration of a range of materials and processes. Students learned the specific hand-building techniques of "coil", "slab" and joining, and made small abstract sculptures that investigated three-dimensional space using these techniques. Coils are long 'ropes' or 'snakes' of clay whereas slabs are flat sheets of clay. In these pieces, each student started with a slab base and then used coils and slabs to construct the piece. It was important that all of the components were joined correctly in order for the work to be structurally sound. After 'bisque-firing' to 1000 degrees, the pieces were permanent, so each student was able to decorate her piece with coloured 'underglazes' (specially formulated heat-resistant paints) and a shiny glaze. - Hilary Breman

Sun Prints Sunprints/Cyanotypes are a traditional print from the 19th century. Students used the power of the sun by placing their objects on light-sensitive paper. The objects eclipsed the UV light from the sun to create different shades; white, light blue to various shades of Prussian blue. They experimented with inverse images, opaque and semitranslucent objects. Students learnt that they could vary the tones not only by the material density but also by moving their objects during the exposure time.- Hilary Breman
