Is Brick is Art.

Year 12 Studio Art

And so another year in Studio Art has finished.  25 students have successfully completed a year a professional artist would be proud of.  An exploration proposal, two folios, conceptual development, aesthetic development, artists of influence, outside influences, eight technique explorations, annotations for every visual they created, reflection, proof of process, folio reflection and two final pieces is enough to make any normal person go slightly insane. But these students have faced that challenge like Picasso to Guernica, Da Vinci’s Last Supper, Jackson Pollock’s Blue Poles or Kahlo’s Self Portrait with loose hair.

Their ability to think creatively and innovatively was exemplified in the quality and standard of the work they have produced. Each and every one of them should be extremely proud of what they have done and hopefully they will continue to produce work of such a standard moving into their lives post high school. The creation of art is more than just a vocation. It is a way of life and they are more than a few steps into that journey. Is brick is art.
