Familiar Faces
We’ve seen some familiar faces around the Carramar campus lately, with some St Stephen’s Alumni returning to share their Drama expertise! Cameron Taylor (Duncraig Class of 2011) has spent time hosting workshops with our Years 7, 11 and 12 Drama students focussing on improvisation, clowning and performance skills. WAAPA graduate Daniel Dosek (Carramar Class of 2013) has also been working with the ATAR Drama students individually to refine their skills and guide them in their preparation for their Mock exams. Thanks for visiting!
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.
