Visual Arts News – SWAP Art Prize

We received some wonderful news this week advising us that students from Year 10 Visual Arts have been selected for the Sustainable Waste 2 Art Prize (SWAP) Exhibition facilitated by the City of Ryde Council.

Congratulations to the following Year 10 Visual Arts students for their recycled art wearables that have been selected for the SWAP 2021 Exhibition at Brush Farm House (19 Lawson Street, Eastwood). This is a professionally curated exhibition in which our selected students are included as part of the YEP | Youth Environment Prize category, which is open to young people aged 14 to 17 years.

Well done to Olivia Browne, Madelaine Britt, Mia Piccolo, Charlotte Parisi, Jacie Tran and Aleighya Galeb.

We are proud of our students and their achievements. Our planet is very important to us and we must do everything we can to protect it. The Year 10 Program for Visual Arts teaches students how crucial it is to recycle. Students not only have to find the correct recyclable materials for this unit of work but they also have to come up with a wearable design that works as an appropriation of a famous artwork. This stretches their thinking and creating capabilities, enabling students to think outside the box.

Best wishes to the selected students. Let us hope we bring some winners home!
