Art & Design Show 

Creativity on show

Join us on November 30 from 5.30pm - 8.30pm for the annual Art & Design Show. On display throughout the Visual Arts and Technology Hubs will be high quality student work from Years 7-12 in the disciplines of art, design, textiles media and food, plus live music performances by our music students. Refreshments will be available to purchase on the night, as well as some student artwork.  As a taster, please enjoy this video made by Year 11 Media student Yianni Rowlands and the promotional poster designed by Lucinda Costa of Year 10. The show and new spaces will be opened with welecome to country and a smoking ceremony by Uncle Bill Nicholson.

Art awards on the night include the annual NHS Archibald Prize, the People’s Choice award, and the inaugural Beugelaar Award. Named after the late Magnus Beugelaar, a beloved Northcote Studio Art teacher who passed away last year, the award is given to a Year 12 student who has shown outstanding creativity and determination in Art throughout their time at NHS. Awards will be presented at 7pm.

In the Design Hub, not only will there be an eclectic range of finished products on display, all design students from semester two have curated a selection of folio pages that showcase the critical and creative thinking that goes into the design process. Work will be displayed on modular boards and we invite you to ask your young people to find their work and describe their journey from the development of a design brief through to their final design.

There will also be instructional cooking videos by our budding chefs, ‘living mannequins’ will display the fantastic work of our fashion designers, and screenings of media work from our film makers will have you on the edge of your seat!

Drinks will be available for purchase, there will be live music performances by our music students, and the Art Club Stall will offer the chance to take a memento of the night home.
