The Barbreck Art Program has been abuzz in 2022 with lots of art making in the Art Studio. Lunchtime Art Clubs for students in Years 2 to 6 work with Ms Georgina Stride and Mrs Guest making textiles, ceramics, paper sculpture and posters. It is a great opportunity to meet students from other Year levels and learn new skills.

This year we had the inaugural Lower, Middle and Upper Primary Art Exhibitions in the Neilma Gantner Gallery Walk. All students participated alongside their peers showcasing what they made in Art class. The Lower Primary Exhibition, Under the Sea showcased ceramics, 2D mixed media and textiles. In Art class, the Prep, Years 1 & 2 classes explored the natural world under the sea. In Term 2, our Years 3 & 4 ceramics and painting classes observed birds and animals of Australia, in their Exhibition Feathers, Fur and Scales. Our Years 5 & 6 girls exhibited their artwork in our new glass showcases and museum quality display boards during Term 4.

Working collaboratively, incorporating a range of subject areas and sharing art making outcomes was evident in so many of the 2022 Barbreck Art Room projects. Aspects such as passionate self-expression, problem solving and working in groups underpinned projects undertaken.

It has been a very exciting year for us all. Art making is so much more rewarding when working and sharing with others.
