The Year 8 Arts Academy students, being the seasoned lock-down professionals that they are, moved seamlessly this semester from on-site to remote learning situations and have continued their Visual Art studies with great gusto!
The Tattoo Front Cover was the first unit completed this year by the Year 8 Arts Academy students in Visual Art classes.
This unit was made up of the various steps that make up the ART PROCESS. Students began with a theory research task into the history and symbolism of tattoos from various cultural groups and time periods. They then completed a brainstorm that focused on their life as a means of gathering inspiration for their own Tattoo Front Cover. Once students had decided on an area of focus for their design, they completed 4 thumbnail sketches of possible compositional arrangements and colour schemes for their final front cover. The next step was to sketch out and colour their final tattoo inspired cover page. They were encouraged to focus on composition and mark-making throughout the project. After completing the unit, students were asked to reflect on their process by answering a series of questions that encouraged them to evaluate their work. (Brainstorm: Calleigh B-S)

In the second term, the Year 8 Arts Academy students focused on Isometric Drawings as a way to expand their numeracy skills. Using careful measuring and technical drawing equipment, students created Isometric milk cartons. Once the drawings were complete, they used the design process (including a mock-up design) to come up with a CRAZY product to put into their carton. They were encouraged to "think outside of the carton" and come up with a unique product design.
