Create Your Own Nebula

Computer aided design imagery of the Jamie Nhor (10I) and Jarrad Shackleton (10F) galaxies named upon discovery, displaying what astronomers call ‘visual masterpieces’ of spiraling galaxies, having each of its arms curling in a spiral formation towards its centre with an array of different coloured stars following its trail. Located about 10 million light-years away in the constellations called Media Arts, the Jamie Nhor (10I) and Jarrad Shackleton (10F) galaxies are known for being the most aesthetically pleasing.

Seeing is Believing

It is often said that “seeing is believing”. M.C. Escher is not only concerned with the representation of the observed world but what comes from his imagination, which is evident through his ‘Curl Up’ creature series. The following are examples from our very talented Yr. 10 students with their creative responses to adapting Escher’s iconic design.

Creativity Across The Curriculum

To be creative is to have the ability to look at things from unique perspectives. It is for this reason that creativity across the curriculum is vital as it allows for students to take risks within their learning to see how their choices and actions can affect their personalised outcomes. The Yr. 7 students have gained further exposure in understanding how Mathematics and the Creative Arts are closely related, as both disciplines require spatial reasoning, the recognising of patterns and the ability to problem solve. 7A and 7S students were asked to utilise their imagination to generate new ideas in the creation of tessellations. The following are a few examples of their findings.
