Visual Arts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Semester the CAPA Faculty had another busy Term with our students involved in a wide range of activities both within and outside the classroom. Year 7 Visual Arts students submitted their first assessment task that allowed them to demonstrate their understanding of the grid method, a drawing technique they studied in class creating an image of their Leader of Wellbeing, Mr Carlin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 8 students began bringing their mask designs to life by utilising recycled materials while Year 9 finished their portraits of their heroes. Year 9 also had the opportunity to visit the Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW, while our senior students visited ARTExpress to connect their classroom studies with the real art world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 10 students engaged with their first experience of clay and created abstract ceramic pieces, while Year 11 explored art history through their appropriations of modernist artworks. Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11 students contributed to an intimate exhibition night held at the College to showcase their works to our wider community which was a great success. Year 12 have been working tirelessly on their major projects, exploring their own artmaking practices while also preparing for their upcoming trials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Year 7 Music students have begun and engaged with the Amadeus Program, continuously practising on their selected instruments in their music classes. Students have been learning the cello, trumpets, violins, clarinets as well as many others to eventually perform as part of an ensemble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 8 students have been learning about different genres of music such as the Blues and Rock and have had the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of these genres through their own compositions and performances on piano or guitar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 9 students have been learning about Baroque music and have composed pieces within this style. They have also studied about music written for film, television or other multimedia and performed pieces of their own choosing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 12 students have been focusing on their HSC music pieces and compositions within their chosen electives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographic and Digital Media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our Year 9 and Year 10 Photographic and Digital Media students have been developing their own films on the theme of Journey and have begun exploring special effects.\u00a0 Some creative videos have been developed, showcasing the students’ skills in manipulating images and using specific industry standard software to create their movies.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Year 11 students in Photography, Video and Digital Imaging have been analysing some of Australia’s famous photographers regarding the techniques they used and the various frameworks they demonstrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many activities have been happening within the classroom, we also had a number of students participating in external competitions over the past two terms. Shine Gao, Alfio Cavaleri and Vincent Acosta were selected to exhibit at the SCS Portrait Prize held at ACU McGlade Gallery. Senior students Eric Wong and Scott Hargash participated in an intensive portraiture workshop with renowned artists Michael Simms and Joshua McPherson at ACU over a weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, our Concert Band and String Ensemble both entered the SCS Eisteddfod, where both groups won in their categories!  A massive congratulations to these students and to Mr Dela Cruz and Ms Muller who work tirelessly with these students each week to rehearse and perform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
