Visual Art Workshop – Tips from Tweedie

Last Friday we had the privilege of Mark Tweedie, West Australian visual artist visiting Carramar to run a painting workshop with our year 10 and 11 Visual Art students.  Mark Tweedie is a visual artist whose practice explores themes of family, mortality and ageing in a style that focus’ on tone and form using a contrast of soft washes and thick impasto.

The 3 hour workshop helped the students develop the confidence when painting portraits as well as exploring a more challenging style.

Challenge for a Cause

Our Year 7 and 8 students decided to stay a little longer at School last Friday, camping out overnight for the World Vision Backpack Challenge. The challenge encouraged students to walk in the shoes of people experiencing conflict who are forced to flee their homes with only what they can carry on their back.

Candid Conversation


Now well and truly immersed in Term 3, Carramar students are feeling inspired about their HASS studies after a recent visit from Dr Anne Aly MP, Federal Member for Cowan. Dr Aly met with Year 9 students who are beginning their Civics & Citizenship course, then visited the Year 12 ATAR Politics & Law class to discuss her experiences in Federal Parliament. Not only that, Dr Aly also spoke candidly with the Year 12 students about their hopes after high school and provided some words of wisdom as they prepare to move onto the next chapter of their lives. Thank you for visiting!

   

Clever Construction

Drawing on their teamwork and mathematical problem solving skills, Carramar’s Mathematics Enrichment students took on a challenge to build a giant six-level geodesic dome. Students are investigating the properties of geodesic shapes and how and why these shapes are used in building and construction. Take a look at how they went!
