Hello to all my Grade 3/4/5/6/E students from Cambridge Primary School and whoever else might be reading this post.
I can’t believe it is Week 8 of remote learning already!
We are going to be doing a bit of Visual Arts learning around the topic of the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT!
The WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT
is an art project that started in Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. in 2006 when some secondary school Visual Arts teachers got together over a coffee.
Those teachers wanted to come up with an idea that all their students could work on together and thus the Hexagon Project was born.
Now thousands of students from all over the world participate in this annual project.
Cambridge Primary School participates in the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT every second year and has done since 2012.
The WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT reflects on how we are all INTERDEPENDENT.
Most students easily understand the meaning of independence.
You start off as a baby not being able to do much and eventually learn to feed yourself and dress yourself as you learn and grow.
Once you start school you are developing as a child and a student and increasingly doing all sorts of things by yourself.
Being INTERDEPENDENT is how we all DEPEND ON EACH OTHER in different ways.
We are all –
-
local citizens (family, Cambridge PS, neighbourhood, Hoppers Crossing)
-
regional citizens (Werribee, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)
-
global citizens
connected to and INTERDEPENDENT on each other for so many things and in so many ways!
How are you connected to others by your INTERDEPENDENCE???
Here are 2 short videos for you to watch about INTERDEPENDENCE.
It is very clear that we all have a much greater understanding of our INTERDEPENDENCE in 2020 after being locked down at home in isolation for many weeks and having time to think about how much we rely on each other!
The WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT for students from aged 4-18+ uses the shape of a hexagon as a way for students to reflect on their INTERDEPENDENCE in an artwork.
I want you to create an artwork, using whatever materials you like, in the shape of a hexagon, reflecting your understanding of INTERDEPENDENCE.
When your artwork is complete I want you to photograph your hexagonal artwork with your device and send it to me by Saturday 6th June 2020.
I will then mark that you have completed a hexagon shaped artwork onto Compass and this will become part of your Semester 1 report for 2020.
The hexagon template for your artwork is available here. You are encouraged to print this hexagon and trace it to use as a template so all hexagons are the same size.
I will then print up the photos of all your hexagon shaped artworks and display them at Cambridge PS.
If YOU want your artwork to be part of the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT for 2020 you need to upload the photo of your artwork onto ARTSONIA. This is your choice. If you do not want to participate in the WORLDWIDE HEXAGON PROJECT you do not have to.
ARTSONIA IS READY FOR UPLOADING!

2020 Hexagons are here!
I can’t find Cambridge Primary School on the website artsonia…
Dear Anonymous,
As it states on the grade 3/4/5/6/E blogpost, Artsonia is not yet ready for uploading of hexagons!
Keep checking the blogpost because as soon as it is ready I will include step by step instructions for how to upload your hexagon for the Worldwide hexagon Project.
And, you still need to email your hexagon to me so I can mark on my list that it has been completed.

Thanks,
Mrs Menhennet
Mrs Menhennate have you seen my famous artwork recreation because my mum sent it to you via email on 27th of May and today when I checked the grid you posted everyone who did do their work and sent it to you but my name isn’t on there,have you seen it?
Eva 5C
Hi Eva,
Yes I have got your artwork so don’t worry.
I have just been very slow at sending my feedback for each artwork. I had to write up that list of students last Thursday morning for this week’s grid so it was already incorrect when it was opened on Monday as so many students sent me work over the weekend.
I was also supervising students at school at the same time as I was trying to put the list together so no wonder I made a mistake like leaving you out!
I apologise for that and hope you get your hexagon to me before the 6th June!
Stay safe,
Mrs Menhennet
Hi Mrs Menhennet
I sent you my flower but it doesn’t say my name on the list of the students that have submitted it
Thank you
Marko Karlica 3D
Hi Marko,
That list is already very inaccurate as so many students have rushed to send their work to me.
I will check the 180 emails in my inbox to see if yours is there. It probably is but there are not enough hours in the day to get through all my emails.
I am drowning in emails!
Stay safe,
mrs Menhennet
what do we do for week 8 art
Hi Claire,
Your hexagon needs to be in to me by the 6th June 2020.
The instructions for it are on the week 8 blogpost.
If you are going to enter it into the Worldwide Hexagon Project, which is up to you, the instructions are on the week 8 blogpost as well. And that has to be uploaded by the 30th June 2020.

Stay safe,
Mrs Menhennet
Do we make a second one
Hi Mahie,
Are you talking about the hexagons?
No, you don’t need to make a second hexagon but you could make another one if you wanted to.
After you send your hexagon to me then you need to upload it to Artsonia if you want it to be part of the Worldwide Hexagon project. The instructions for uploading are also on the week 8 blogpost.
Any more questions just send me another message.
Stay safe,
Mrs Menhennet
Hi miss Menhenet, Can you please tell me your email address because I forgot From Wajiha
Hi Wajiha,
shelley.menhennet@education.vic.gov.au
Stay safe,
Mrs Menhennet
Hi Mrs Menhennet!
Regarding the Artsonia uploading, I have just uploaded my Hexagon and it says I’m under the Enrichment file even if I’m in Grade 4. Is there a way to change that? Thank you.
I’m sure I changed this for you Martina. I will check it out tomorrow.
Hi miss Menhennet! How do you delete something on artsonia? I put my picture in the wrong file.
From Adiya
Hi Adiya,
Please don’t panic!
If you have put it into the wrong Cambridge PS grade level for the Hexagon Project I can swap it into the correct one.
I’ll go to the website now and see if I can fix it.
Stay safe,
Mrs Menhennet
hey miss menhennet how do i upload the picture ? do i emaill you?
Hi Eugene,
The instructions to upload your hexagon onto Artsoniua are on the week 8 blogpost. It is really easy to do.
If you are talking about your Famous Artwork Recreation then you need to email that to me.
Thanks,
Mrs Menhennet
