Ceramics

Recently our Year 9 Ceramic students participated in a workshop with local artist Michelle Le Plastrier.  Michelle’s practice is centred around the desire to always be expanding on the technical skills and knowledge to explore the balance between sculptural and functional ceramic forms.  Our students were challenged to create a clay vessel in under 2 hours using slabs construction techniques.   We can’t wait to see these pieces glazed in the coming weeks!

Film Production

In Film Production this term, students have been analysing how film makers create and develop their stories and views audiences see through the lens. We have looked at technical elements of film/media and will start to develop our own skills using 4k DSLR equipment and editing software in preparation to developing our own fantastic films.

Sound Production

Using Garage Band and recording equipment, students in Sound Production have created sound scapes, film underscores, and short songs using fun effects and sounds on Garage Band, as well as recording themselves using instruments. We have looked at how music has developed over time through the use of technology and how music elements have been manipulated to convey meaning. Students are excited to start work on their own compositions and perform a piece of their choosing towards the end of term.
