The Program was a resounding success, with the journey of captured in a documentary created by Francisco Films. to be taken to the documentary.

Our Student Art Show was celebrated by many of our 秀秀直播 families and friends, as our families journeyed through the Marist Auditorium taking in 2D and 3D art works from Visual Art and Design and Technology subjects. As they meandered through the incredible exhibition, families were entreated to beautiful music performances from students in Years 3-12, and viewed stunningly clever performance art that depicted famous art works dramatically. The night would not have been complete without the street art performers, our 鈥淗ope Angels鈥 and the 鈥榬eal time鈥 construction of our 鈥淗ope Filled Hearts鈥 community art installation, both art experiences emulating our Marist theme of 鈥淗ope鈥 for 2018.

Student awards were presented on the evening to the winning student per year group for Visual Art and Design and Technology subjects, and four College special art awards; the Marcellin Champagnat Vision award, Mary MacKillop award, Education Support Centre award and Artist in Residence award were also presented.

Student Art Show

On Wednesday 10 October, our three-day Arts Festival began with the opening of the Student Art Show.聽 It was wonderful to see our families coming together to enjoy a joyous expression of our students’ creative energies. The best works from students across K-Y12 was on display along with craft activities, giant games, Music performances, Silent Statues, Performance Art, face painting and a delicious sausage sizzle!

In addition, throughout the evening artists young and old wrote a hopeful message which was hung on strings to form a heart. Hope Filled Hearts was an installation designed by Coordinator of Drama Miss Bethwyn Legg to inspire a community collaboration of art making centered around our Marist theme of Hope.

We were delighted to have our 2018 Artist in Residence Andy Quilty present on the evening who spoke about the highlights of the program and shared his wealth of knowledge to inspire our students to take risks with their work. Families also had the opportunity to view and purchase a number of pieces of work by Andy.

Congratulations to all students who received an award for both Visual Art and Digital Technologies. It was fantastic to celebrate this new generation of artists. A key element of the Arts Festival’s mission is to promote exposure to art and art education to the youth in our community. Please view the list of award winners here聽
