Brazilian Artist, Romero Britto said, “Art is too important not to share.” In 2022, the Visual Arts Department continued to find ways to exhibit student work. Motivated by Barbreck Art Teacher, Mrs Virginia Guest, our Selina Yao Gallery now has museum standard displays, filled on rotation, with products of creative and critical thinking. Our @IntheStudio Instagram platform continues to exhibit work digitally and a large selection of our Senior School students’ work was exhibited at the ISV Art Exhibition.

Year 8 students were privileged to learn from contemporary Indigenous weaver Kathy Glass, proud Gurindi, Dagoman and Wardaman Woman, and proud mother of our Year 12 Boarding Captain, Jasmine. Kathy was generous with her skills, time, and her stories. The Year 9 Signature Program welcomed textile designer Miss Sophie Yencken (’15) to share her industry experiences, Mr Stuart Parry shared the creative practice of an inventor and Year 9 Media created an awareness campaign film for the organisation RU OK? Art and Design Captains, Claudia Bryant and Scarlett Davis also created a community in Art and Design Club, providing a creative space for those wanting to sustain a practice outside of the curriculum. Our 2022 VCE Art Show was particularly exhilarating as we celebrated students’ artistic voice and achievements together, for the first time since 2019. The exceptional VCE work on display showcased refinement and resolution and is a credit to the creativity and agency of our students.
