Year 8 Visual Communication Design

Ms O’Brien’s Year 8 Visual Communication Design class have been busily involved in learning about the different drawing methods that designers may use to help communicate their ideas to their clients and audience. These include Observational Drawing and One-Point Perspective Drawing. In Observational Drawing, students were tasked to use different media, such as grey lead pencil and watercolour paint, to depict the objects that were presented in front of them. With their One-Point Perspective Drawings, students learnt how to write their names in 3D, converging each of the letters back to a single vanishing point off in the distance of the page to suggest depth. They also rendered their names using markers and fineliners. Please take a look at the great work below.

Year 11 Economics

This week students in Year 11 Economics embarked on a culinary tour of Queen Victoria Market. Their mission was to examine the pricing and marketing strategy of the individual merchants. Throughout the day they collected information on pricing and product range from the various sections in the market including, deli, general merchandise and fruit and veg. Upon returning to school,  students applied their data to economic theory regarding Law of Supply and Demand. Many thanks to Ms Singh, Ms Nogueira and Mr Chan for accompanying the students.
