Project information: This programme will support students to conceive, plan and deliver their own art making workshops for their family and community to participate in at the annual Agricultural Day celebration. Students will be guided through a creative process of exploring, experimenting, creating, and sharing.
Through weekly art making and reflection sessions, students will practise the creative process and make connections to different stages, developing their critical thinking and communication skills. Art making sessions will give the students regular practice and engagement with the creative process, art processes and techniques based on relevant artist models.
Students, teachers, creatives and parents will share developments, new learning gained, photos, celebrations and challenges through the school newsletter, Facebook page and seesaw (school communication platform).
