The Visual Arts program focuses on developing expressive, creative and communicative forms that engage students in critical and creative thinking and help them to understand themselves and the world around them.

​

The Visual Arts Program at Gardenvale Primary School aims to:

• Encourage students to create and critically explore visual culture. Provide a vehicle for confronting and exploring new ideas, and inspire passionate exploration of ideas and the resultant products.

• Promote a program that reflects cultural diversity and the vast growth in information and communications technology that has made arts forms increasingly visual.

• Foster the importance of imagination and creativity.

• Promote Art as essential to our well-being.

• Use Art as a medium to create and enhance our experiences in the creating, making, presenting and responding process.

• Support students to work individually or collaboratively on projects for display in the school and the wider community, or for them to take home.

​​

Our Visual Arts captains present the "Artist of the Week" awards at the assembly each week and support a variety of art clubs, competitions and events on the Senior Campus.

Each class has one 50-minute session per week, and each class from P- 6 has the opportunity to explore the Art Areas of Drawing, Painting, Construction, Printing, Threads & Textiles, Media and Modelling, using a variety of materials and techniques.
