17.01.2022 Today students in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 were treated to a special online art workshop via Zoom, organised by Operation Art and the NSW DET Arts Unit. These workshops are usually hosted in Wagga Wagga each year, but due to Covid, they were held online. Students were very lucky to have the talented Trevor McDonald, from Simple Art, step them through the process of drawing profile pictures and then creating their own colourful profile pictures using a variety of materials. Students did a great job and should be very proud of their efforts. Here are just some of the artworks they created.
