This term in the Art room, Visual art and Italian are teaming up to present units of work through various themes.
Grade 1&2 are learning the names of the fruit and veggies in Italian while creating chalk drawings of the various fruits and veggies.
A study of the whimsical and quirky Italian master Arcimboldo will be completed to support knowledge and understanding of how to use food to create images. Towards the middle of the term, students will create a self portrait inspired by the work of Arcimboldo.
