ART CURRICULUM SPOTLIGHT
Year 9 Visual Arts
Our Year 9 Visual Arts students are currently immersed in their Street Art folios as they explore the exciting world of graffiti, murals and contemporary urban art. Research and experimentation phases are helping students prepare for their upcoming major practical; a street-art inspired artwork on a skate deck. Throughout the creative process, students are developing confidence and resilience by learning to embrace feedback, problem-solve and take risks with their artistic ideas.
Year 9 Design
In Year 9 Design, students are diving into the world of graphic art as they work on their visual folios and begin designing their own original album covers. These designs will soon be brought to life on recycled vinyl records in a hands-on practical project. As students refine their concepts, they are building resilience by navigating creative challenges, strengthening their critical and creative thinking skills and embracing feedback with enthusiasm to improve their designs.
Year 7 Art
Our Year 7 students are exploring Aboriginal art and Dreamtime stories through a unique storytelling project. Students are creating their own stories and representing them visually through their artworks, using traditional Aboriginal symbols. This meaningful project not only nurtures creativity, but also deepens students’ cultural awareness, respect and appreciation for Indigenous Australian history, perspectives and art practices. Along the way, students are also developing resilience by working through the creative process with patience, reflection and a growing sense of independence.
Year 11 & 12 Art
