Our Year 4 students recently worked with visiting local artist Jane Ruggiero, emulating her style to create self-portraits. As with Jane’s portraits, the students’ drawings express their individuality and acknowledge life is not always bright and easy, as represented by the darker side of the face. Jane was delighted to return for a celebration of the students’ wonderful artworks in an exhibition for family and friends during Week 2. There was a lovely buzz in the courtyard as students proudly shared their creative work.
