The Catholic Education Office, Adelaide, brings its central corridor to life with a gallery of artworks from schools and colleges. The gallery celebrates outstanding works of art generally prepared by secondary aged students.
The current works on display in this third exhibition were created by Year 10 Art students at Cardijn College, Noarlunga, in response to the theme of ‘The Human Form’. Students explored notions of identity, emotion and the self, within the context of ‘Expressionism’ in Art. Each piece represents the unique perspectives and experiences of the students. There is diversity in media, style and techniques used demonstrating the wide range of approaches and interpretations of the theme. These diverse works include use of pencil, acrylic, etching, linocut, newspaper, water colour, ink and cardboard.
The inaugural collection was mounted late last year and consisted of artwork authored by staff members at the Catholic Education Office. Ceramics, photography, silk painting, watercolour, acrylic, pastels and charcoal media were displayed on a variety of subjects from icon to landscape to vessel.
Additionally in Term One 2015 Our Lady of the Sacred Heart showcased refugee poster designs by Year 10 to 12 students who researched refugee issues before transferring them into graphic designs in a variety of media. Students come from a diverse range of backgrounds and this task gave students an opportunity to share their stories and understanding throughout the design process.
Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) has welcomed the State Government’s decision to continue its funding commitment to non-government schools through to 2034, following the finalisation of the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement with the Federal Government.
