MYP VISUAL ARTS (Roxane Joubert)
Our Grade 6 students are making good progress this final quarter of the year. As they continue to refine their artworks, Grade 6 used their developing knowledge of composition, colour theory and the Elements of art to produce some visually striking works of art.
Grade 7 fully immersed themselves in the making of their Op Art artworks. Some students harnessed the power of colour to create visually dynamic optical illusions whilst other preferred the simplistic effects created by both geometric and organic lines.
Grade 8 began working on the finer details of their summative assessment. This week we printed our series of street art stickers which we will use to embellish our large-scale artwork.
Grade 9 now actively photographing and collating their still images into a moving stop motion animation, we can now confidently proceed to the editing phase of this unit. We will use video editing programs and APPs to adjust, filter and enhance the animation.
MYP DP VISUAL ARTS (Lucian Stefanescu)
Giorgio de Chirico, the founder of the Metaphysical painting movement, was one of the most influential artists of all times. Never achieving the fame of a Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali, he nevertheless had an immense influence on the later and the art movement he brought to fame, Surrealism. Although distinctive in style, both movements share a dreamlike and often vaguely threatening, mysterious quality of a “painting that which cannot be seen” as coined by Roderick Conway Morris. During this unit students will solicit and expand their ability to represent their dreams and conceptual thought through visual analogies and metaphors.
This week Grade 10 students finalized their surrealist paintings.
