Year 8
Visual Arts Exhibition
The Annual Yr 3-12 Visual Arts Exhibition is being held this week in Redlands Hall. This is the first time since 2019, that the Visual Arts faculty have been able to hold the annual exhibition in the hall as in recent years the format was a virtual exhibition online. Yr8 were delighted to see their principles paintings and gargoyle sculptures displayed. This week, students have had the opportunity to view the exhibition in their art classes with particular focus on understanding the conceptual and technical practice of our Yr 12 HSC students. The high quality of the Yr 12 bodies of work has proved inspirational for many of our Yr 8 artists.
