7C Art Excursion

Students in year 7C Art Class recently visited the Warrnambool Art Gallery and the F Project Gallery and enjoyed viewing the Paul Jennings exhibition that is currently on show at the 'WAG' and a range of prints at the F Project Gallery based on local sea birds. We enjoyed our excursion despite getting drenched in the downpour when we returned to school!

Art News

Warrnambool College is currently seeking donations from individuals, school families and/or organisations to assist with the purchase and installation of a new kiln. Your support will assist fund this purchase and provide our students with this engaging learning experience. Students LOVE CLAY, it is a material which truly encourages hands on learning through tactile engagement. Clay is embedded in the Art/Design Curriculum across all year levels and is an effective medium for students to discover and develop their creative and learning skills in both 2D and 3D. The process of working with this natural material to create a unique clay project supports personalised learning, sensory development, fine motor skills, self-esteem, self-expression, problem solving skills, discipline and pride in a child. In addition, clay has a well-documented therapeutic quality that settles and calms children.

A kiln on site will assist students and teachers to create and fire ceramics artworks, it will encourage the experimentation of glazes and create further learning opportunities for creativity in our classrooms.

We currently have $5000 though require a further $10,000. Please donate to our kiln project today to support our students.  Please contact the College on 5564 4444
