A Term’s Work on the Walls

In the last week of Term 3, students turned cardboard boxes bound for recycling into suncatchers, from star mobiles and crowns to turtles.

Art students visited Tipping Point on 11 and 13 August to see how rubbish is sorted, and chose plastics to build into their 3D sculptures.

Every Visual Arts class at Lincoln Road is working on the theme of Sustainability, collecting plastic to build animals of the ocean, the rainforest and New Zealand native forests.

Year 7 and 8 students are building three-part agamographs combining self-portraits, names, and hobbies, folded to create a moving optical illusion.

Students are exploring the colour wheel, complementary colours, and tonal values. They have been introduced to Israeli artist Yaacov Agam and are working towards a self-portrait agamograph.

Visual Art 1 students explored what art means to them, designed their title pages, and began collecting images for their visual art covers. Term 1 theme: Identity.
