The Arts are valuable creative curriculum area. Visual Arts, Music, Drama and Dance allow an avenue and outlet for creativity, divergent thinking, relaxation, expression, enjoyment and performance. The Arts enable students to develop their capabilities by learning about the different practices, disciplines and traditions that have shaped the expression of culture locally, nationally and globally. Students are both artist and audience in the Arts. They make and respond and learn to appreciate the specific ways this occurs in different disciplines. Performing Arts learning is designed to promote enjoyment, engagement, skill and language development and understanding. Students learn through a range of activities, games, songs and dances. They use voice, movement, technology, body percussion and instruments to partake in a range of activities. The Arts contribute to the development of confident and creative individuals and enriches Australian society.
All classes attend Art and Music specialist sessions each week.

Visual Arts

The Art facilities at Eltham North are spacious and light filled. It is in this beautiful environment students’ growth as artists begins.  The Art teachers ensure the children are engaged in stimulating activities where they can explore with guidance, a wide range of media and equipment.  Throughout the year, all students explore the artistic areas of drawing, painting, collage, printing, modelling, construction, threads & textiles. Within these areas an emerging knowledge of skills, techniques and processes are formed. All children come to Art sessions with a wide range of abilities and these are fostered in a caring, positive, creative and interesting learning environment.

Eltham North Primary School has a wonderful and enduring relationship with local artists and artistically talented people. Students enjoy the opportunity to work with Artists in Residence programs and they have completed beautiful pottery, metal, fabric and painting works that are on display around the school.
