The Quarters Primary School community celebrated Education Week in style last week, with its inaugural art show putting pupils’ creative skills on display. On Wednesday 17 May, one focus of our education week open evening was the amazing, inaugural art show for Quarters Primary School.
Supported by a free sausage sizzle from Big Childcare and Cranbourne West Secondary College music students providing entertainment, pieces of all styles and across all year levels were on show during the Wednesday 17 May event.
Student wellbeing and community liaison teacher Shilpa Sanghani said the event was a “huge success“
“The comments coming from our community were extremely positive and it was a joy to see so many families admiring the hard work and creativity of our students,“ she said.
The school’s Prep students made clay birds with nests and created colourful paintings with bleeding crepe paper.
Impressionist painter Claude Monet inspired the work of the Grade 1 and 2 pupils, with their work featuring individual ponds complete with waterlilies and creatures.
Grade 3 and 4 pupils recreated Edvard Munch’s iconic piece ’The Scream’ in mixed media starring themselves and also tried their hand at weaving.
Grade 4, 5 and 6 pupils also created explosive pieces of mixed media with an animal theme, including making fireworks out of salt and colouring and trees with scrunched up foil and fingerpainting techniques.
