Masking Tape Art- Does Art have an impact?

By



Can Art impact the way that we view issues and the world around us?
This was the question that was asked of Stage 3 for our final Unit of Visual art for the year. We looked at the above slideshow and discussed the images that we saw. Each picture represents an artists depiction of an issue ranging from pollution in our oceans to highlight gender equality. We discussed why the images were effective, with many students explaining that the images showed how this issue affects the world around us. They also made us more aware and were often more powerful ways to express the thoughts of the artist.

Making Our School a Better Place

What would you do to help to make our school a better place? What issues are there, that need to be highlighted to help our school be a better place? 

These are the questions posed to Stage 3 to consider. They brainstormed ideas in their art diaries in response to the questions. They were then given the following design brief for the project:









We then looked at examples of Masking Tape art using TES Blendspace. This allowed students to be able to access the videos and resources again when needed on their Google Classroom accounts.



The students were asked to collaborate together on the issues that they saw in the school that needed to be highlighted or changed. They came up with some ideas for artworks and then used masking tape to create their artworks. It was really interesting to see how unique each artwork was and the level of engagement in each of the groups.










Reflections


The students then wrote a self-reflection about what they had learned through this process of artistic collaboration and raising awareness about issues. 











What did you enjoy the most about this project? What would you change?

The Burnt Stick- A Personal Response

By
Stories can help us see, the experiences and emotions of other people. Using stories to empathise with another person's life can be a powerful way to change the views that we might hold about other people. It puts us into their shoes, and see another person's life through their eyes.

The Burnt Stick is a book written with that intention. The story is about an aboriginal boy called John Jagamarra who was taken from his family when he was 5 years old. He was taken by the Welfare man to live with the Fathers at Pearl Bay Mission for Aboriginal Children, to learn the ways of the white man.

The students in Stage 3 have been learning about how to write a personal response to a story. Personal responses come in many forms but always need to have a summary of the story and a personal response or opinion about it.

The criteria for our personal response is:



The starting point for the writing was to brainstorm ideas about the feelings and thoughts about the story. What would it like to …

When creating a picture or artwork, positive and negative space both need to be considered. What is the positive and negative space?
Look closely at the following picture:

"My Country" Poetry Writing

By
Words can have an impact when we use them in ways that create images and evoke emotions. Poetry is a way of writing that allows someone to communicate these images and emotions in a deeply personal way. They require creativity and thought about a subject, often using a limited amount of words to so.
Dorothea Mackellar is an Australian poet, who uses imagery in her poetry to great effect. They portray her love of her country by creating images of colour and ruggedness through a rich use of descriptive words. The most famous of her poems is called "My country", which the students then compared to another poem of hers called "Colours of the Light".


After completing the lessons on imagery from these poems, we came up with a definition and looked at the words that can evoke the 5 senses. 
To start the process of using imagery in our own writing, we brainstormed ideas for poems. This helps the process of pre-writing. Getting ideas written down assists the students' …
