The Art Rooms are a hive of activity every afternoon. Approximately 270 artists participate in this extra-mural activity weekly. Here, the learner will have the opportunity to experiment in different media.

Two dimensional projects - pastel, paint, ink, dye, pencil, crayon, fabric paint and craft paint.

Three dimensional projects - clay, paper maché, cardboard and craft materials.

Classes are held at the following times:

It is important to book a time slot for your child at the office, as we do not want to overfill the classes.

What is Art? Well, I'm sure we all have our own opinions, differences and reasons. Mrs Hewitt, the senior phase art teacher, takes all our different views and tries to turn them into something we could all use one day. Apart from painting and learning many new techniques of art, most of us get the chance to relax, think and chat to our friends!

Many of the students attending extra art have said that Mrs Hewitt has helped them to perfect their art to the best of their ability and has done so with perseverance. Besides classroom activities, the grade 7's was given a research project on South African artists. (background, style of art, etc.) Some say that they enjoyed this opportunity, as they got the chance to learn much more about South African art and our artists. Our grade 7 learners say that it was interesting to find out about the styles that the different artists use etc.

From grade 1, we have been learning how to work with different media, e.g. painting, pottery, dye, paper maché, fabric painting and craft work. In the grade 7 extra art class we have been doing a combination of these media throughout the year and brought home beautiful end products.

For the grade 7 class art this year, we did much painting and a paper maché mask which we decorated with feathers and other craft elements. The grade 7's are currently working on possibly their last art project of the year - the decorative props for the grade 7 end of the year concert.

We asked many of the grade 7 extra art students why they attend extra art and this is what most of the responses rounded off to...

• Relaxation
• Inspiration
• Thoughtful (very thoughtful...according also to Mrs Hewitt as she believes that art is much more thoughtful than mathematics...!)
• Gossip

Mrs Hewitt has said that she enjoyed teaching the grade 7's of 2007 because they were unique, had their own ideas but took her advice as well. From art in grade 1, 2 and 3 with the "wacky and funky" Mrs Jansen, to art with Mrs Hewitt in grade 4, 5, 6 & 7, we have all learnt a lot and will take our knowledge with us.
