We congratulate Year 10 student Molly McFarlane who has been accepted to the National Gallery of Victoria’s Teen Council. This is a perfect introduction to the Art world for Molly and she is thrilled to have been offered the opportunity to sit on the council this year. A talented photographer (some of her works are pictured), Molly studies photography and has an immense passion for all aspects of Art. The NGV Teen Council meet Gallery staff working in different roles, go behind the scenes and contribute to the design, co-ordination, and promotion of NGV programs for teens. The meetings take place at the NGV one evening each month. We are so proud of Molly for this wonderful achievement and opportunity!

2022-2023 Years 7 – 11 Annual Visual Art & Design Show
The Visual Art & Design department eagerly invite you to the Visual Art Gallery space to enjoy the works from Year 7 to 11 students from classes in Semester 2, 2022 and Semester 1, 2023.
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 and installation works 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 past 12 months. Please come and join us to view this ‘visual feast for the eyes’ from 28 March.
*Look out for the ‘treasure hunt’ list that will be posted in the space– can you find all of the items?
Open From 28 March until 28 May – open from 8.30 – 4.00 pm Monday to Friday.
10 x 10 ART EXHIBITION
Open entries for ELC – Year 12 students + Staff + Families
The 10 x 10 exhibition challenges artists and imaginative thinkers to create 2D and 3D works of art within a defined space – the Visual Arts Exhibition Space.
The installation and exhibition of these pieces will give viewers an opportunity to identify and discover fascinating links between seemingly disconnected works and consider how each of us brings SOMETHING UNIQUE to our COMMUNITY, our space, our PLACE.
ART IS HOW WE CAN CONNECT AS A COMMUNITY.
You DO NOT need to able to draw a straight line, there is no such thing as “not a creative bone in my body” – everyone can create – we just create differently. Be part of a community and celebrate your individual Artistic Flair.
The 10 x 10 Exhibition will run for 10 school days – 10th August – 24th August in the Visual Arts Exhibition Space, and be available to view between 8.30 am – 4pm M-F
ALL submissions by MONDAY 1 August 5pm SHARP
- Workshops: will run in Visual Art Department for Years 7 – 12 during lunchtimes in term 2, as well as a Staff workshop to be announced soon.
This exhibition has no limitations beside the 10×10 (x10cm) format.
- Possibilities of works: Paint, drawing, collage, crochet, photography, sculpture, mosaic, textiles, woodwork, laser cut, mixed media – the options are only limited by your imagination!!
All entries must EXACTLY fit the dimensions of 10 x 10cm for 2D works. 3D works must have a base of 10 x 10cm and a depth that may be less than 10cm but does not exceed 10cm.
- For example, a painting including its frame must be exactly 10 x 10cm.
- For 3D works, we would encourage and challenge artists to create works on panels that can be hung on a wall, rather than pieces that sit on the floor
No more than 10 entries per individual, and each piece MUST be an individual piece, not a series that combines to be a larger piece.
- Please note – Works that do not meet this requirement, or are deemed inappropriate in any way, would automatically be disqualified.
- To help artists meet the exact size requirement and avoid an automatic disqualification – you can purchase & collect pre-sized boards from the Art Dept (also available in various places around the school such as Senior College Reception, Art Office, Reception/Admin, Boys JS Reception, Girls JS Reception) and leave these boards unframed.
