Visual Arts

Our school has an amazingly talented Visual Arts Teacher, Ms Gilead, who aspires to support each student to realise their artistic potential. Under her guidance students explore colour wheels and the creation of colours, model with clay, learn about a range of drawing techniques, envision their creation and then produce it for a purpose. In some cases, this is for personal enjoyment or can be for submission in local competitions.

We participate in the annual Hills Education Community (HEC) Arts Festival where we display two pieces of visual art from each year level, along with the other nine primary schools. This event takes place in Term 2 each year and is very popular within the hills area.

Ms Gilead also strives to have every child complete their works to be displayed at the Mundaring Environmental Art Awards. Our school is always featured amongst the winning and highly commended categories. Winners in each category return to produce their art works on a banner, which is then publicly displayed in the Mundaring shopping precinct in December each year. The banners remain on display until he following year’s competitions.

Whilst Ms Gilead is on leave, we are delighted to have Ms Kelly Spencer teaching our Visual Arts program. Ms Spencer is a creative and talented Arts teacher and we are excited to have secured her services.
