Silverton Primary School has a spacious fully equipped art room which the students are timetabled to learn in for 60 minutes each week.  

In Visual Arts sessions, students make and respond to artworks using a range of materials and processes and are developing their own growing art-specific vocabulary. The program aims at engaging their imagination and celebrating individual creativity. The students create two and three-dimensional artworks using a range of materials including clay, paint, recycled and natural materials. They are introduced to artworks from historical, indigenous and contemporary artists and learn to identify features of their styles and experiment with creating pieces inspired by those artists.  

The Visual Arts program is developed with reference to the Victorian Curriculum and makes concurrent connections with Learning Centre topics being studied.   

Student artwork is displayed throughout the school, providing them an opportunity to celebrate their own work and each other’s work.
