Visual Art
At Thomastown Meadows Primary School our Visual Arts program aims to develop student’s creativity by helping them explore and express their ideas. Students use a range of materials and equipment to practise different techniques and learn skills across a range of visual art areas. Students view and respond to both modern and historical art and learn about artists from all around the world. They learn to view and critique their own and others work by using technical and precise vocabulary.
