2014 Faculty Highlights

Junior Students' Art Works
 

The Year 9 students opting for Visual Arts have recently completed work in a unit titled "Framed by the Landscape"

The unit was based on a study of Lynfield Cove and native New Zealand birds and the students learned about creating realistic perspective through blending colour, to create the illusion of three dimensional space.
