Visual Arts

In year 11 Art, students worked on their collaborative drawing skills to create a large-scaled drawing of various personal objects that had sentimental emotions attached to them. Students worked as a team to draw each of their objects from a range of angles and points of view that created a culmination of interesting shapes, colours and implied textures. 

In year 10 Art, students have had fun experimenting mixing paints to create a range of colour schemes, creating intricate tessellations designs and understanding how to draw facial features. Students will use this knowledge to design and create their own self-portrait painting that incorporates these visual elements. Stay tuned for updates on their progress throughout the term. 

In year 9 Media, students are already out and about filming a short video sequence after analysing the film techniques used by cinematographer, Zach King. Students will spend the next few weeks applying their knowledge on camera angles, shots and editing techniques to create a short 6-10 second magic edit video. 

In year 8 Art, students have been learning all about the colour wheel, mixing and identifying different types of colour schemes. Students will be applying their new knowledge to create landscape paintings with a twist!

This week in year 8 Media, students began learning how to use our Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras.

They practiced taking photos from all angles and distances, making sure their images were in focus. This was great preparation for their upcoming stop animation and movie poster assessments.
