The Arts and Technology students at Auburn High School have made a superb start in 2023!

Year 7 and 8 Drama students have been developing their expressive performance skills while Year 7 and 8 DigiTech students have been learning about binary and copyright in the digital realm.
Year 9
Visual and Contemporary Arts students have been developing skills with tonal drawing and Photoshop skills respectively, and DigiTech students have been extending their skills in using and presenting data in Excel. Year 9 Drama students have been enjoying creating performances based on a chosen social issue.
Year 10
Students have been exploring the reduction linocut process in Art, illustration styles and communication design in VisComm, while Film students have been analysing stylistic choices of auteur directors.
VCE
Arts students have been exploring a range of historical and contemporary artists and artmaking techniques in preparation for their first folios for the year, and Computing students are exploring programming project ideas for their major coding task, where they are required to solve a problem for a real-world client.
We have the Arts and Coding clubs beginning this week, and are looking forward to seeing students develop their skills and appreciation for the Arts and Technology throughout 2023!
