2024-2025 Years 7 – 11 Annual Visual Art and Design Show
Monday 24 March – Friday 30 May
Open from 8.30am – 4.00pm Monday to Friday.
The Visual Art and Design department invite you to the Visual Art Gallery space to enjoy the works from students in Years 7 -11 from classes in Semester 2, 2024 and Semester 1 2025.
Each year, the students amaze us with their creative and enthusiastic approach to making and creating visual pieces, in a variety of forms, exploring a range of themes and concepts. From woodwork to 3D printing, textiles to computer generated packaging design, painting and drawing, photography, sculpture just to name a few.
The exhibition is an opportunity for students to showcase their efforts and wonderful final pieces, sharing their insights and skills developed over the last year.
Please come and view this ‘visual feast for the eyes.’ When you’re there, look out for the ‘treasure hunt’ list – can you find all of the items?
Year 10 photography excursion
On a beautiful sunny Thursday, the year 10 Photography students visited the Lotus Gardens in the Yarra Valley where they explored the picturesque ponds and captured some exceptional images of the waterlilies, flowers, insects and architecture. Students were encouraged to experiment with the manual camera settings of shutter speed and aperture as well as think about the composition and angle of their photographs. The next stop on our photography tour was the Redwood Forest in Warburton. Students ventured through the towering trees, explored giant nests and captured images of the flowing river. The sunlight dispersing through the redwoods made for a number of highly aesthetic final images. The following images are a small example of the beautiful photos the Year 10 students captured on the day.
Cats and Dogs
On Friday 28 February the Year 11 VCE Art Making and Exhibiting students visited the National Gallery of Victoria exploring the Ian Potter exhibition Cats and Dogs which explored how the artist has represented our domestic companions through art and design. The exhibition reveals how our feline and canine friends have long been a rich source of visual imagery – from ancient history to the present day. It was a dynamic exhibition with the opportunity to upload personal images of our pets (past and present) that then featured digitally in the space. There was a rich diversity of materials on show including ceramics, tapestry, printmaking, sculpture, photography, and painting. Students will now investigate how curatorial aspects are considered in the making of their own exhibition designs.
