Koonung Secondary College
Artist in Schools program
In our previous newsletter we introduced artist Farimah, who has been working with Chris Henson’s Year 10 2D art class to also complete a ‘collaboration’ piece. Students have enjoyed their brainstorming sessions and together with Farimah, they have produced some fantastic work.
Thank you to Art teacher, Chris Henson, who facilitated the project, working with Farimah and the Year 10 2D class. Thank you to the Semester 1, Year 10 2D class for participating in this amazing opportunity to collaborate with a professional artist. The work is yet to be named and will be framed and placed within the KSC school complex.
Many thanks to Farimah for all your guidance, patience, passion and persistence, and your amazing creativity and skill.
We await a final celebration and official opening (tba), to acknowledge and thank the Whitehorse City Council for the funds they provided to make this opportunity come to fruition.
