The Architecture Project

Ms Kerrie Anderson, Prep Art

THE Prep School launched an architectural drawing project in early June. This project launched with Year 1 drawing the Prep School Clocktower.

Boys can work in the field outdoors during art, as well as online from photographs as shown here.

The boys have shown a lot of creativity and enthusiasm in undertaking their drawings and we very much look forward to seeing the final results.

Following on from this, we have now made this an entire school project and have asked students from every year to submit a drawing of their favourite building or place at TSS.

Some of the drawings we are receiving are of the Prep Clocktower, Senior Clocktower, cricket nets, Preschool and Prep rainforest areas, the Art Block, Jordan Quad, Cribb Building, River Ovals, Senior music, and the Chapel. But of course, the options are endless given the pristine beauty of TSS.

We ask boys to draw whatever inspires them and ask them to refer to a photograph as inspiration.

We really wanted to create a sense of togetherness in launching this project. Togetherness through connectedness with other boys and through instilling a reminder of the beauty of our school and the comradery that TSS provides whether near or far.

Boys can choose what materials they would like to use, and the size can be in either A4 or A5. Boys wanting to participate can send their drawing to the Prep School Art Department. Your work will be returned after the exhibition, which will be held online and during the School Art Show.

The project will run into Term Three and we will share some of the amazing creations with you all in the next edition of the Band of Brothers magazine.
