Year 8 Street Art Tour

Year 8 Street Art elective students enjoyed seeing some of the most famous and unique street art in Melbourne recently when we attended a Melbourne street art tour run by Blender Studios on 12 February st. We even got to see a genuine Banksy stencil!

Year 11 Media Excursion - The Project 

Year 11 Media students had a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the live studio audience for 'The Project' on Channel 10. Students were able to see all that went on behind the scenes and were thrilled with the willingness of the cast and crew to answer any of their questions in between commercial breaks. It was great to see the enthusiasm from all and their inquisitive nature towards careers in the media world. 

Year 11 Kusama Excursion

Year 11 Art Creative Practice students had a brilliant day last month when we went to view the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. Kusama is one of the most famous and significant artists still living today and still making provoking and incredible art work at 95 years of age! Our class will study Kusama in depth in Semester 2, having our own selfies and personal experiences of her immersive and interactive artworks making for a memorable experience. 

New Art Club Days

All students are welcome to come along and join us for Art Club Tuesdays at lunchtime in Art 3. VCE Art club runs in the same room on Wednesdays.
