Year 7 and 8 returned to school excited to be back in the art room. 

Year 7 continued their work started in remote learning on Auzzie Icons - looking at the symbolism of Australian culture and using it as a basis for an animal themed work based around the art practice of artists Mulga and Reg Mombassa. 

Year 8 have been practicing their  graphite skills in a realistic self portrait.

Year 12 worked beautifully during remote learning and recently had an extensive feedback session from both peers and teachers on their Body of Work. 

YEAR 8 MUSIC
Since returning back to school students have been engaged in ensemble practical activities. 8MUS4 were set the task of learning Dance Monkey as a band. Students had to learn their individual parts before putting it all together as an ensemble. Students developed their discipline skills, teamwork and love of making music together. The students definitely learnt that patience, persistence and responsibility is key in developing a good performance! Click here to see the final result! 

Students in Year 8 have also been learning about Music for Film and Television. Students have been creating their own jingles and theme songs using software such as Google Flat and Soundtrap. Click here to listen to Eryka Simpson's jingle for a luxurious island escape!

YEAR 9 & 10 MUSIC

Students in Year 9 have been studying British Pop/Rock music this term. Works have been studied from the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Adele and Amy Winehouse. Students were tasked to select, rehearse and then perform a British Pop/Rock song of their choice to the class. We saw quality performances across the Year 9 group. 

Students in Year 10 have been studying Music for Film, TV and Video Games. Students have engaged in composition activities such as setting music to set movie scenes with a focus on tone colour, mood and atmosphere. Students were also tasked to select, rehearse and then perform a piece of music from a TV show, movie or video game. Students are to be commended for their outstanding performances and growth they have shown over the last 18 months.
