A big thumb up for Top Design and Top Screen

During the final week of Term 1, the Visual Arts staff embarked on an excursion with VCE Visual Communication Design and Media students to Melbourne Museum to listen to a curriculum forum and immerse themselves in the exhibitions of Top Design.

The Top Design exhibition showcased diverse works spanning various VCE disciplines such as Media, Product Design, Systems Engineering, Theatre Studies, and Visual Communication Design. It proved especially valuable for our Year 12 students as they prepare for their upcoming SATs. They peruse exemplary developmental folios and gain insight into the meticulous process behind creating a final design. Many explored the entire collection, taking photographs, and discussing work that they found inspiring.

Following this, Media students ventured to ACMI to experience Top Screens, part of the VCE Season of Excellence. This unique showcase offered students a glimpse into the creative processes of Victoria's emerging filmmakers as it showcased some of the best movies and animation produced last year in VCE Media.

Meanwhile, our VCD students continued on to NGV International to participate in an interactive guided tour of groundbreaking designs featured in the Triennial exhibition. One of the most notable featured AI robotic dogs creating original artwork, reacting to their environment, and demonstrating behaviours we associate with higher thinking. Our Year 11 VCD students will incorporate this experience into their own design concepts, delving into human-centred design.
