Visual Art 7 – 12

Our students have been busy in the Art Room, honing their creative faculties and developing new skills in art making. Year 9-10 have been focussed on the skills of printmaking while years 7 and 8 are learning about the elements of Art and Design through experimental artworks. This week we begin creating unique assemblage sculptures so look out for those on display in the Art Room display windows over coming weeks. Last week some year 7’s were at school while some were at the swimming carnival. We had a creative arts experience of service to others through the production of greetings and celebration cards using collage techniques with some interesting interpretations of theme!

Drama has hit the ground running this year with the Year 11 students. Last week we took an excursion to Brisbane to watch the play Our Town for assessment and the students absolutely loved it. We got to see how Drama is used to tell stories and share the human experience. This week instead of going out we had a guest speaker come in and talk to us about Indigenous storytelling and the important role it plays in Indigenous culture. He kindly gave us some of his own stories as a gift for the students to use as inspiration as they begin to devise their own stories for their Dramatic concept.
