We would like to take this moment to thank our outgoing Visual Arts Captain, Finlay Simmons for her outstanding service in this role this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fin has been an active, responsive and organised leader, representing the subject with such energy. Through her vision and an excellent capacity for collaboration, Fin forged a strong partnership with the Visual Arts staff and the HSC students and engaged students across the years through her camaraderie, warmth and passion for Visual Arts.<\/p>\n

Fin\u2019s final contribution in her role was to organise an event last week where students were invited to come and create a work of their choice that was then amalgamated together to create one large, united piece.<\/p>\n

Fin Says:<\/p>\n

Ms Jackson and I hosted an art event where students across the Secondary School were able to spend their lunchtime decorating paper shapes with various materials in contribution to a whole school artwork. <\/em><\/p>\n

The idea was for students to have full creative choice and show off their individuality as they selected what shape and size of paper they wanted to decorate, materials they wanted to use and patterns they wanted to create. These shapes would then be glued together, combining everyone\u2019s personal artwork to craft one large one, emphasising the ability for art to craft community. <\/em><\/p>\n

The turnout was amazing, with students across year groups chatting with their friends in a peaceful and fun environment, allowing this creative endeavour to bring people together. This was a lovely event were everyone was able to come together in the collective and immersive experience of creating art. <\/em><\/p>\n

We are excited to combine and photograph these works to craft the large artwork and also create other collections of works from the shapes that were decorated. <\/em><\/p>\n

This event was attended by students from across the School and there was a lovely dynamic quality to the experience, with plenty of chatter, immersive art making and laughter.<\/p>\n
