Visual Arts, Term 3

What a productive semester we have had! Students have been developing their art skills using a wide range of mediums – oil/water/acrylic paints, collage, clay, board etchings, podcasts, music videos, surreal photographs…. and the list goes on!

Our Year 10 Photography students also visited Aarwun Gallery this term. Aarwun Gallery is an excellent art gallery in Gold Creek. Students saw the current exhibition by Ted Lewis to see how painters have the same creative challenge of making images look realistic as photographers do when creating surreal constructed photographs in Photoshop. Students had a great time! We then went to Lake Ginninderra and took some beautiful photographs.

Year 10 Photography class out the front of Aarwun gallery with the creative satirical prime minister sculpture.

Looking forward to another fantastic semester coming!!!
