Arts and Design Technology Showcase
Our clever and creative students and staff from the Arts and Design Technology Learning Area have been busy finalising art work, adding the finishing touches and framing artwork as we look forward to welcoming our College Community to our annual Arts and Design Technology Showcase event to be held on 31st October.
The event will be open to the public on Thursday from 6.00-8.00pm and will be held in the Brigidine Centre.
This exhibition will showcase student’s work, from Foundation to Year 12, and will include pieces that have been designed, manufactured and created in Visual Arts, Visual Communication Design, Media, Technology Wood and Metal, Food Technology and Performing Arts.
This year, our Art and Design Technology showcase will be opened by local artist, Marion Langford. Marion has over two decades of experience as a talented artist working with oils and acrylics and more recently, ceramic and sculpture.
We look forward to welcoming Marion to our College and hearing more about her career and art work when she joins us on Thursday evening and to seeing all of the wonderful creations!
