On Monday 30 July, the Visual and Performing Arts Departments facilitated and hosted an ‘arts’ enrichment day for our Year 8 students. The day, titled Enhance, was designed to extend and enrich students’ understanding of the learning areas and opportunities available in the arts domain.
ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵudents were given the opportunity to hear from and work with professional artists and performers: Ebony Russell (Ceramist), Yure Covich (Actor) and Tom Harding (Drummer). Each arts professional delivered a 10-minute presentation on their work and life, discussing career highlights, their studio practice and key opportunities presented to them throughout their creative career.
ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵudents gained further insights into the making life of an artist with participation in a range of workshops, run by the visiting artists and staff. Workshops included clay building, hands-on exploration of the functions and capabilities of the DSLR camera (light painting), character development in both film and TV settings and a collective rhythm and drumming experience.
