1st Prize was awarded to Bianca Rozsa (Year 12) last Thursday at the Woollahra Youth Photographic Award and Short Film Prize in the Film Category for her work Tomber to fall.

Congratulations to Bianca!

This is a significant accolade and speaks to her developed and sophisticated aesthetic and technical skill. We also had 11 students selected to exhibit their work in the exhibition, Ava Tyler (Year 11), Charlotte Darcy (Year 11), Gemma Shennan (Year 8), Mimi Hildage (Year 8), Matilda Breen (Year 11), Maya Shearing (Year 11), Melody Li (Year 10), Georgia O’Keefe (Year 10), Alexandra Tavendale (Year 11) and Grace Rock (Year 11).

We encourage members of the SCEGGS community to visit the exhibition at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf to see our Visual Arts students diverse submissions that are in turn, personal, complex, experimental, evocative and engaging.

You can view Bianca’s winning film here Tomber to Fall  here!

 

Darkroom Open Days

SCEGGS is in the enviable position of having a photography darkroom as part of its Visual Arts facilities. Next Tuesday and Thursday in Week 4 we are offering lunchtime sessions where students can visit the Darkroom and experience the magic of seeing photographs developed and printed. Students will have an opportunity to speak to student representatives who are currently enrolled in this co-curricular activity and meet Ian Lever, renowned professional photographer and Darkroom tutor. Students have been emailed an online booking sheet to secure their spot.

Below are images from Jade Brennan (Year 12), Art Captain, long time co-curricular Darkroom participant and finalist in the Australian Life Photography Competition this year.
