Curious Sea Creatures

Year 8 looked at the representation of Sea Creatures in art. They worked on drawings in various media, then designed a "new" sea creature based on these drawings. In a group, they negotiated between their designs to build a final composite sea creature. Students were encouraged to consider how working at a large scale and in a group would change their practice as an artist.

Collaborative Mural Project with Artistically Gifted students for St Mary's Primary School Georges Hall

MSJ has built a close relationship with St Mary’s Primary at Georges Hall. Many of our girls come from this school and have fond memories of their time there. The Principal of St Marys, Mrs Monica Palmer and the Newman Facilitator, Ms Kylie Gava, approached us about a collaborative project for the artistically gifted from both schools. Together we drew on the talent of Stage 2 students from St Marys and Stage 4 students from MSJ to find the special features of St Marys’ and create a mural for the bare wall behind their Mary MacKillop garden.
