Studio Arts Students enjoy NGV

On Monday 11th February, all Unit 1 & 3 Studio Arts student went on an all-day excursion to the National Gallery of Victoria. The highlight was the Escher x Nendo exhibition. All students seemed to really enjoy the brilliance of Escher’s exceptional printmaking and drawing skills. They also were intrigued by the design and layout of the exhibition which was designed by the Japanese Design company Nendo.

The second exhibition which the students experienced was the William Wegman display. It was both amusing and thought provoking. Wegman’s main subject throughout the exhibition were huge photographs of his many Weimaraner dogs, dressed up in incredible costumes and poses. The final exhibition was the Julian Opie exhibition demonstrating a luminously vibrant yet simplistic view of every-day people going about their business.

YEAR 10 DESIGN TECHNOLOGY EXCURSION 

On Thursday 14th February the year 10 Design Technology class became the first school group to visit the 50 million dollar Point Leo Estate Sculpture park. The Sculpture Park houses an ever-evolving outdoor gallery of over 50 Australian and International pieces, set on 19 acres of breathtaking views.

Students strolled through the 3km serpentine paths to experience the incredible works. The diversity of context does not only apply to the art but also the native flora and fauna that links the sculptures to the building, the vineyard and the sea. Our students seemed totally amazed by what they viewed and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even the softness and quality of the grass was mentioned on numerous occasions!
