Easel-y impressed!
In August, we invited the School community to view our Year 12 HSC Visual Arts body of work. Marking is now officially complete and nominations are to be announced, watch this space.
Our students work incorporates a wide range of expressive forms – including printmaking, painting, photo digital media, textiles and fibre, drawing, sculpture and graphic design.
One of the inspiring works was by Evander Blakey (Year 12). His photography study, ‘Project Oblivious’, aimed to challenge our everyday perception of the world around us.
“Where others may simply see a train station, tram stand or terminal as a place to walk through, they may not have the time to appreciate the sublime structures they walk past – taking them for granted. Thus, my body of work explores these sublime structures, finding beauty in the mundane,” he said.
Each work is a testament to the creativity and talent of our students and is an excellent resource that inspires younger students to explore their own artistic potential. Their innovation and deep thinking continues to impress. A huge congratulations to all students involved and their wonderful teachers.
