Visual Arts-A focus on Year 7 portraits

Well it’s been a super busy and rewarding term with Year 7 Art students. Many students have recently completed their self portraits which show exciting learning and skill development in painting and drawing. We share some of these here:

It was wonderful to see the application of these skills in the context of student’s assignment work too. We have been thrilled to see Year 7 approach their work with such energy for creative adventure and to test their skills independently. A selection of work from their recent assignment is here:

And finally, we were thrilled to be able to recently visit the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes at the Art Gallery of NSW with all Year 7 classes able to explore a rich and diverse selection of works, including the work of SCEGGS Old Girls, Eliza Gosse (Class of 2012) hanging in the Archibald and Thea Anamara Perkins, (Class of 2009) hanging in the Wynne.

This week’s banner is from Eva Ancher’s semester 1 art assignment.

Go Year 7!
