Art Club
Art Club commenced for 2024 this week with students beginning the process of creating ceramic bowls for the College’s wellbeing dog Axel. Other projects on the horizon include adding to Emerald Secondary College’s collection of murals.
The focus of Art Club is to provide students the opportunity to explore and further extend themselves within the visual arts. Within this space students will have the opportunities to take part in:
– Whole school art projects (eg. wall murals)
– Extended study and access to materials for VCE Art and Viscomm
– Opportunities to enter external art competitions or exhibitions
– Specialised skill development workshops (eg. painting)
– Extra-curricular art making of their choice
Art Club will run fortnightly from 3:15-4:30 every Thursday of Week A in B10, until the end of the year unless otherwise advised. All year levels are welcome, and no sign-up is required. Please see Mr Fyfe or Ms Herbert if you have any questions about it.
Year 11 Art Making and Exhibiting
As part of Year 11 Art Making and Exhibiting, students visited the ‘Triennial’ exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. Triennial is “a powerful and moving snapshot of the world today as captured through the work of over 120 contemporary artists”, with students focusing primarily on the creation and presentation of works by Australian artists, before exploring the remainder of the exhibition for further inspiration. Students represented the College exceptionally well, with many also choosing to participate in Yoko Ono’s collaborative, interactive work ‘My Mommy is Beautiful’.
