Year 7 Visual Arts

Year 7 were designing ceramic pots based on different cultures from around the world when NSW went into lockdown.  We continued to design for the pots; however, the longer lockdown went on the more the Visual Art teachers realised that we wouldn’t have time to work with clay on our return to school, so we diverted into a traditional masks project to tie in with our cultural theme and to exploit the fact that we were also wearing masks to reduce the spread of Covid.

Some students worked successfully on carboard relief masks and others were able to produce elaborate papier mache masks.  All construction materials were sourced from student’s homes.  They were then painted once we started back onsite at school.
