Visual Arts Exemplary Artworks

This term, our Visual Arts students have produced outstanding work that shows creativity, skill and imagination. Across all year groups, students have explored new materials, developed strong ideas and shown great attention to detail in their artmaking.

Teachers are very proud of the effort and commitment shown by all students. The quality of work has been exceptional, with many artworks demonstrating originality and strong technical ability.

Students have also shown a growing confidence in expressing their ideas and taking creative risks. Their ability to communicate meaning through visual language continues to inspire and enrich our school community.

 We congratulate all students for their achievements and thank them for bringing such energy and passion to the Visual Arts classroom.

Year 11 Visual Arts/Year 12 2026 Mentoring Night 

On Wednesday, the 22nd of October, we held our Year 12 HSC Visual Arts Mentoring Night. The first of many exciting events designed to support our students as they begin the journey of creating their Body of Work.

A special thank you to our Artist in Residence,  Johnny Romeo, who generously hosted the evening and shared valuable insights into the creative process. Students benefited greatly from the opportunity to receive individual feedback and guidance from a range of mentors, helping them prepare for their first Year 12 Visual Arts assessment task with confidence and direction.

We would also like to thank the Visual Arts Teachers for all their hard work thus far and in the months to come.

Year 12 Visual Arts 2026

Following from the buzzing Mentoring Night on Wednesday evening, Year 12s will engage in the Body of Work (BOW) in a Day Workshop on Wednesday 29th October. After gathering feedback from their mentors and working with their class teachers during Visual Arts lessons, students will start the development of their BOW, which culminates to 50% of their HSC.  

We look forward to sharing the progress of the day, where students will be immersing themselves in a full day of artmaking, experimentation, and expression. 

Throughout the day, students will explore a range of techniques and materials while responding to their own ideas and artistic intentions. They will produce a Mini BOW which will be presented to the rest of the class and submitted as part of their assessment task 1.  This intensive workshop will encourage students to take creative risks, work spontaneously, and think critically about their artmaking process, all essential skills as they begin their HSC Visual Arts journey.

Year 10 Visual Arts Update

Students submitted their Unit 3 Self-Directed artwork proposals this week. It’s been wonderful to see a variety of themes and ideas being explored by our Year 10 artists. Students will receive feedback on their work via Canvas, after which they will continue to develop their artworks, completing them in time for our Junior Art Showcase for Semester 2 later this term. See below for some examples of their Visual Arts Process Diaries so far!
