Art

Creative exploration.

Art is an important part of the curriculum at Phoenix and children from Pre-nursery to Year 6 are encouraged to enjoy creative expression. In the Art Room we incorporate elements of Art, such as line, tone, texture, form, colour and composition in fun exercises that encourage dexterity and organization in the early years. We move on to imaginative compositions using experimental techniques and different methods to develop confidence and risk taking and to see how the old masters and modern artists work. In Years 5 and 6 we concentrate on spatial principles, accurate observation drawing and developing painting skills to prepare children for High School. As well as painting and drawing - pottery, lino, fabric painting and paper mache all find their place in the art room.
