2026 Whole School Exhibition 

Glen Eira College students' creative endeavours were celebrated at our Opening on the 12th October. The event was very well attended and I would like to thank parents, friends and staff who came along to support our students and school. It was exciting to see so many people supporting Art and Design at our school.

Lisa Clarke from Deans Art presented our awards along with our principal Jane Thornton.

Our congratulations go to Deans Art Award winners:

Year 11 Art Creative Practice: Elsie Barrett

Year 11 Visual Communication Design: Nina Todisco

Year 12 Visual Communication Design: Lucas Kennedy and Elizabeth Wong

Thank you to our two visual Art Captains Elsie Barrett and Momona Ishikawa who designed the invitation and MC’ed the presentations. Thank you to Kieran Fretwell and Hari Mani our photographers for the evening.

Year 9 Photo Realism

The Year 9 Art students have explored the concept of photorealism using graphite pencils. This task focused on developing each student’s skills in manipulating tone, proportion and scale.  The students applied the ‘Grid Transfer’ technique to masterfully render a photograph into a pencil drawing. 

Year 7 Name in Perspective

Students were required to draw their first name using one-point perspective. Coloured pencils were used to tonally render the form. Gaining inspiration from examples of decorative patterns, students applied their own pattern to the front of the name.

Congratulations

We are delighted to announce that Luca and Marcus Charing-Berraud have been accepted into their preferred undergraduate double degree; Monash Fine Arts, Luca will be undertaking Fine Art and Education and Marcus, Fine Art and Human Rights.

Congratulations to you both, it was a pleasure to teach you this year in VCE Art Creative Practice!
