Visual Arts

What an eventful and exciting time 2022 has been. It has been our first official year back after two years of lockdown and so much has happened. The plans for the new Visual Arts wing are in full swing and we are so excited to welcome students next year to brand new facilities and classrooms. I have no doubt they will continue to thrive and grow in their learning, surrounded by new equipment and resources.

We would like to congratulate James Kwan who had his short film exhibited at the Monash Youth Film Festival titled “Four’s a crowd”. “Four’s A Crowd” was made in the Year 10 Art class under the guidance of Mr Emmett and is a love letter and passion project by James to the Sergei Leone spaghetti western films such as “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.” The video is a hyper stylized trailer which harkens back to the 60’s with the intention of the film to parody the western genre.

There have been many excursions this year to Top Arts, Top Design and the National Gallery Victoria. Students across Year 9 to 12 Visual Arts have been able to experience and immerse themselves in the gallery spaces that Melbourne is so well known for. The love and passion our students have for the Visual Arts has prompted an interstate study tour to Tasmania in 2023. We are very excited for this and cannot wait to share the experience with the VCE Visual Arts students next year. Rimma Campos
