Year 12 Visual Arts session with Johnny Romeo

In year 12 our Visual Artists are currently developing their Body of Work. A selection of one or more works is made at the conclusion of the course and is submitted as evidence of what students know and can do in the practice of artmaking. Students can demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and critical judgement acquired through experience, in turn creating autonomous artists in practice. Works produced over time provide the possibility for students to establish their intentions as artists and to develop courses of action for their own practice. 

Miss Mamuk’s HSC Visual Art students were privileged to experience a private studio session with international artist, Johnny Romeo. Romeo is an Australian born painter, and his work conveys a visual type of poetic and rhythmic blending of word, symbol and image which communicates his perspective of contemporary society. Romeo spent individual time discussing how to build upon each artist's strength, limit any possible pitfalls and suggested ways to improve weaknesses. Authentic artist advice on artmaking practices was thoroughly advised throughout the entire session. 

“I’m very excited to come back to St Andrews College to work alongside such talented students and a teacher I have previously taught and mentored, Shandel Mamuk. Fantastic school, talented students and passionate teacher” – Johnny Romeo

We cannot wait to showcase the students' work at the St Andrews College Work in Progress Night on the 28th of April. The MC of this special event will be Johnny Romeo.
