Visual Art
Visual Art students are all busily creating artworks for their assessment. It has been wonderful seeing their works progress throughout the term.
Year 8 art have been exploring painting techniques using acrylics exploring the theme of Australian landscapes. Students have shown incredible control and skill in colour theory and application. Great work year 8!
This term the Year 10 Art students are exploring dynamic poses and utilising positive and negative spaces in art through the design and creation of linoleum prints, that also utilise and are enhanced by additional mediums. The students are currently in the designing phases as well as learning the processes of cutting and creating mini-lino prints. We look forward to seeing the amazing work that they create!
The Applied Visual Arts students are exploring the concept of 'Alter-egos' and their ability to exaggerate desired features, or mirror aspects of our own personality/features. These ideas will then be resolved into large, constructed clay busts, which will be fired and painted accordingly.
Breaking News: Zombies Invade Ripley Valley State Secondary College
Year 9 Media students were turned into Zombies and overtook the school while participating in a Special Effects Makeup workshop. The workshop saw them create a range of zombie inspired looks including bruises, open wounds and bite marks. This full day workshop was led by Taylor Manic, an industry professional, who has worked on a range of film sets along with creating looks for Movie World’s Fright Nights.
After creating their looks, students started filming their Zombie films using the school as the backdrop. The day was a success with our special guests sharing how impressed they were with the not only the looks the students created but also with their creativity, willingness to throw themselves into the activity and how respectful they were in their interactions throughout the day.
We can’t wait to see the final projects at the end of this term.
Great work Creative Industries Students on another amazing term!
