The second annual Art Show for Quarters Primary School in Cranbourne West was held on Wednesday 30 October.
The artwork produced by the Foundation to Year 6 since January was on display.
Prep students explored weather-themed art, creating a sun-over-mountain collage using wax-resist and paper-ripping techniques and painted umbrella scenes with bubble wrap. They also made collages inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Day the Crayons Quit, experimented with crepe paper bleeding, and crafted cotton wool plane trails.
Years 1 and Year 2 students focused on warm and cool colours with contrasting art pieces, including patterned hot air balloons and monster faces. They created Matisse-style cutouts, mixed media owls, and wax-resist rainbow paintings.
Year 3 and Year 4 students worked on perspective with oil pastel trees, seascape collages, and woven owl art. They ended with 3D dioramas depicting mood and inference through detailed scenes.
Senior students mastered advanced techniques, creating insect paintings with watercolour, sunset cityscapes with ink printing, textured weavings, and whimsical self-portraits as mad scientists. A highlight was their coloured clay self-portraits, including staff likenesses for the library.
