Taking responsibility for Art in a public space became the experience for students in this unit. A small group collaborative design, based on students’ first initials evolved progressively, and was ‘installed’ using pastel on an exterior wall adjoining Year 4 classrooms.
The portrait artwork of Kehinde Wiley was explored as inspiration for students to incorporate symbols of their life experiences and links to personal culture in designing a backdrop for their self-portraits which were created with the use of their iPads.
The change in MBBC landscape over time was the starting point to this unit on landscape design and environmental Art. Students produced a collaborative ceramic piece for the Hand Garden, established in 2020, that incorporates visual ideas and typographic messages that relate to how we can ‘Give Nature a Hand’.
