2024 Art Awards
Each year the Art Department chooses two pieces of art work to purchase on behalf of the school, that will then remain on display around the school for future years.
Congratulations to the following students whose art work has been chosen for the 2024 Junior and Senior Art Acquisition Awards.
Junior Art Acquisition Award
Riley Murphy “Murph and his cruiser”
Artist Statement:
The reason I did this design is because I really like land cruisers, I also incorporated a footy as my head and north Ballarat because that’s the team I play footy for. For the background I also used mud tracks and a footy oval because their some of my favourite hobbies.
Senior Art Acquisition Award
Ava McLeod “The Abyss”
Artist Statement:
The piece titled "The Abyss" explores the theme of fear through storytelling. This is conveyed by depicting the story of a person getting lost in a forest, which taps into common fears and the irrational nature of being alone. The artwork is designed in the style of a picture storybook, reflecting research into cautionary folk tales. The torch symbolizes the character's will to persist through their troubles, with the torch gradually fading in the final frame to signify their escape. The gold frames are used to evoke the "Golden Book" bedtime stories, further emphasizing the storytelling nature of the artwork.
