Year 10 Visual Arts students Allegra and Costanza were recently nominated by their teachers to participate in a two‑day immersive experience at St Mary’s Cathedral, led by the Sydney Catholic Schools Visual Arts team. This unique opportunity celebrated the Sistine Chapel exhibition and supported their creative development in preparation for the Clancy Art Prize. A highlight of the experience was exploring the Sistine Chapel Exhibition: Revelations, where cutting‑edge projection technology and imagery from the Vatican brought Michelangelo’s masterpiece to life in a powerful and engaging way. Students also worked closely with professional mural artist Danny Mulyono, taking part in interactive demonstrations and experimenting with a range of media including spray paint, paint pens and air‑dry clay. Throughout the immersion, they collaborated with peers from across Sydney Catholic Schools and each completed an original artwork for submission to the Clancy Art Prize.
