Process not Product

As usual we have a huge supply of cardboard boxes and the creativity and making never stops.  

Here are people working together and using materials to create their own designs.  They come up with their own ideas, get the materials they need and work with each other and on their own cutting, taping and creating.  As they go, they are learning what things work and what they need to change, they are working on their fine motor skills and their team work.  The end product is almost irrelevant, because it is the process itself that teaches them along the way.  They see that the amount of effort they put into something matters, that they can do things and create things on their own and that they can rely on each other for help. They are building resilience and practising growth mindset as they work!

More Preparing for the Arts Celebration has also been in full effect! 

Here we are adorning the Windows into our World! Who doesn't love a little sparkle?

Back Yart!

Back Yart!

A frenzy of furious activity, an explosion of form and colour, Worser Bay kids bursting forth with creativity: what is it?

It’s our biannual Art exhibition, of course!

The work on display is the culmination of our school wide Inquiry, What’s in My Backyard?

BACK YART!

There are all kinds of representations of Flora and Fauna, from prints and paintings through to sculptures and installations, done by students of all ages.  

Begin your tour on the driveway perhaps where we are flying the flags of the future.  Walk through the classrooms, admiring the work on the tables and walls, then make your way to the outdoor display areas.

Dressed up trees, lit up bird houses, bird baths, fish swimming on a fence.

Stitched trees growing, sculptures hanging, flying forms springing from the earth.

Driftwood drifting, lanterns glowing.

Watch out for the skeletal beasts with their sadly jangling bones!

Enjoy and participate in the excitement!
