Visual Art

The Visual Arts program at Montrose Primary School gives the children a weekly session to explore and, with guidance, use a variety of skills, techniques and processes involving art making.  This includes Drawing, Painting, Collage, Construction, Modelling, Sculpture, Textiles and Mixed Media.

The children are introduced to a variety of art elements including line, shape, colour, texture, pattern and form. They are encouraged to discuss and share their work and the work of other children and well known artists. As the children move through the school their skills are built on and the engagement fosters personal expression, critical and creative thinking and interpersonal communication skills.

The children’s work is showcased in our many corridor displays, at local galleries and in our art show. The topics that are introduced are often based on integrated units of work in the classroom, whole school activities or NGV exhibitions.
