Welcome

Hello and welcome to the Caloundra City Private School Artroom Blog.

Here you will find a celebration of the wonderful work produced by the amazing young artist at our school, my ramblings about their creative process and their wonderful works of art… did I mention the art?

Teachers, if you are inspired by the students’ artworks and use or adapt my lessons for your own class, I would love to see the results, so please link back to this blog.

Parents and friends, if you would like more information on any of the art projects that the children have completed, feel free to comment or email me. Even better, why not support your child in their creative endeavours by following or subscribing to this blog.

Senior Information Night Year 6


The current Australian Curriculum draft for the Arts is based on the assumption that all young
Australians are entitled to become engaged with  the Arts subjects and should be given an opportunity
to experience the special knowledge and skills base of each.
From the first year of secondary school (Year 7), students at CCPS will have an opportunity to
experience some Arts subjects in greater depth. The Visual Art curriculum at the school provides students with an extension of technical skills learnt from previous years combined with the continual nurturing of their creative development. Students will be guided through the process of developing their works further through the experimentation of various media while also allowing them the freedom to self express. They will be engage with the artistic, cultural and intellectual work of others but, most importantly understand and apply a variety of analytical and creative techniques to solve problems. The aim is to maximise their achievement in Visual Arts through the acquisition of additional knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes.At CCPS Visual Arts places great value on the development of students’ intellectual and practical
autonomy, reflective action, critical judgement and understanding of the role of art in both current and historical society.
The following is an example of the work produced by our current year 7 students.
