Darlo Play Centre
From Day 1 of this term, children at Darlo Play Centre are
inviting great moments in art to influence their own. It began on our Pupil-Free Day with Ms Kandinsky mysteriously appearing from
behind a door, dressed in a painting, from which a section had strangely turned
itself into a hat. She had crayons in every pocket and every pocket was in a
most unexpected place.
Ms Kandinsky’s oddness emphasised that for great artists like us, our feelings
most effectively direct our work. Expressing feelings is much more important
than worrying about other people finding us odd.
This idea is so powerful that children seemed suddenly released to bring out
their hidden colour. Ms Kandinsky showed them heaps of ultra-edgy art that
startled people when first it was made.
Children have been painting like Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Pollack of late, and
last week under the influence of the great Indigenous batik artist Knwarreye,
involved themselves in dyeing fabric. The photo on this page shows Seniors
Clem, Maya, Olivia, Pax, Isabella, Ruby and Sas with their astonishing prints on
calico.

The Seniors have moved
The Seniors are using the room next to the new DPC
Office, where they can play board games and engage in all
kinds of creative activity. We are appreciative of the
school’s generosity in allowing us to share this lovely
space.
Our assembly point has moved
When the bell rings at 3.00pm each afternoon, all the
children attending Darlo Play Centre are assembling in the
new playground to have their names marked off. From
there, Seniors and Middles walk across to the Annex Area
for afternoon tea. Juniors go to the Junior Room for their
