Kalinda is deeply committed to nurturing and celebrating the arts. From Foundation through to Grade 6, students engage in weekly Visual Arts lessons designed to inspire creativity and critical thinking. These sessions focus on both creating and responding to artworks, using a variety of materials and techniques while building a rich, art-specific vocabulary. Our Visual Arts program stimulates imagination and encourages personal expression, fostering essential growth mindset qualities such as resilience and courage.

Developed in alignment with the Victorian Curriculum 2.0, the Visual Arts program is thoughtfully integrated with whole-school topics, allowing students to make meaningful connections across their learning.Throughout the year, students create two- and three-dimensional artworks using diverse materials including clay, paint, recycled items, and natural elements. They also explore works by contemporary, historical, and Indigenous artists, learning to recognize distinctive styles and cultural significance.

The creativity of our students is proudly showcased throughout the school corridors, offering a vibrant gallery space where the Kalinda community can admire, discuss, and celebrate the evolving artistic talents of our young artists.
