20.01.2022 YEAR 9 VISUAL ART COLLABORATIVE PROJECT A Year 9 Visual Art class has been working on collaborative projects this semester as a way of building authentic Arts experiences. Ms Bench’s class has worked as a team to brighten up the chairs at Synergy. The images across the six chairs all flow with the imagery moving from a rainforest, into the beach and then under the ocean. It has been a long, hot undertaking but one which has given students a real world experience while building skills in tonal work and simulated texture. Well done to all for your commitment.
