Exploring Learning at St Pat's

This week on my learning walks I focused on Visual Arts.

In Kinder they have been making art with a focus on the letter they have learned in InitiaLit. 

5/6 have been exploring anthropomorphism: giving human characteristics to animals or objects. 

3/4 have been exploring Amate. Amate bark painting is an ancient Mexican tradition that centralises on the painting of paper made from tree bark. Outside of the reaches of European influence, there hadn't been an introduction to traditional paper. Instead, pictures and symbols were painted on their own interpretation.
