Visual Arts Spotlight

What a busy term we have had so far in the Art Studio! There has been a lot of excitement preparing for our recent Toonworld incursion with groups preparing their storyboards and allocating roles for each member. We had some students select to be directors, camera woman/men, animators or to be in charge of vocal effects for their group’s clip. Every class laughed, moulded characters and used digital technology to create a short Claymation clip. Here are some photos from our visual arts incursion.

CLAYMATION

DREAM CAR COMPETITION

We had 44 students enter the ‘Toyota Dream Car’ competition. I have challenged students to design cars of the future that will make a positive difference in our world.  Please visit the multi purpose room to view copies of these designs. I have been super impressed with the ‘thinking out of the box’ designs and wish all entrants good luck! In my eyes they are all winners and I thank them for having a go.

Until next time—keep creating! J
