Enrolments in Co-curricular Visual Arts classes for Semester 2 are now open
We offer Darkroom Photography, Observational Drawing, Digital Photography and a Painting course. Tutors are experienced educators and highly regarded practising artists in their own field.
Darkroom Photography is run by Ian Lever who is a professional photographer with several decades of national and international experience. His work is widely acknowledged, especially his social documentation of Sydney Life. Ian’s work is represented in the Collections of the State Library and the National Gallery of Australia.
Lilli Stromland and Eliza Gosse are both Old Girls (Class of 2012) and Graduates of the National Art School. Both are exceptionally skilled artists who have established successful fine arts careers. Both have gained Gallery representation upon graduation and continue to build a strong critical and commercial following.
Chris Gleisner is a freelance photographer and teacher and was the SCEGGS in house photographer during 2020. Her commercial practice and fine arts work are highly accomplished and make Chris ideally positioned to share a broad range of technical skills and creative ideas with students wishing to hone their skills in digital photo media.
