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.
Students 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.
Students 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.
