Student artwork has been exhibited in Top Cats at the National Gallery of Victoria and many have been short listed for the newly renamed Top Arts Exhibition. Our teachers are dedicated to promoting creativity, skills and enjoyment to ensure a lifelong appreciation of The Arts. The Arts enables students to actively involve themselves in the practice of art, to appreciate the art of others and gain a greater understanding of the relationship between artistic pursuits and the broader cultural environment. In the senior levels, students have the opportunity to explore a range of mediums to fully develop skills and responses to produce highly sophisticated and individual artworks. Research and analysis skills are further honed at this level to promote a deeper understanding and ability to express themselves not only in their chosen practical area but through language as well.
Students learn the limitations of clay and the basic hand building and decorative techniques.
Drama activities are action based using familiar situations and experiences such as myths and legends to enhance performance. Practical work develops skills and knowledge in order to express feelings, moods, gestures and imaginings. Visual Communication provides a general introduction to the basic skills, knowledge and techniques fundamental to the study. Students will gain an understanding of the broad range of graphic devices that are in everyday usage. Freehand, instrumental and computer aided work is produced.
