Toilet Doors Art Project

In early February, Belridge SC embarked on an art project, in conjunction with one of our feeder schools; Currambine Primary School. Over the course of four weeks, students designed and painted six of Currambine PS's toilet doors, in an endeavour to brighten the bathrooms.  As can be seen from the photographs, the end results look amazing.  Well done to all primary and secondary students involved in this project and thank you to Ms Veness, Associate Principal, in coordinating.

Year 11 Artwork

Students have recently been creating self-portrait drawings observed from mirrors and photographs, using a variety of media and bonal techniques to create the illusion of depth and relief.  Keep up the great work!

Sculptures by the Sea

Year 10 and 11 Visual Arts students participated in viewing ‘Sculpture by the Sea’ at Cottesloe Beach recently.  They had the opportunity to view and discuss first hand artworks displaying a variety of techniques - 3D, colour, texture, transparent / opaque / kinetic quality and size of the artworks, qualities which are often lost in reproductions often portrayed no larger than 10cm.  There were 71 local, interstate and international artist’s works, including WA’s Ron Gomboc and Tim Macfarlane Reid. Similar exhibitions are run throughout the world and this is the fifteenth time it has been held in Cottesloe.

When the Rain Stops Falling

Our Year 11 and 12 Drama Class were lucky enough to attend the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) and view the 3rd Year Acting Students perform a contemporary Australian text, “When the Rain Stops Falling”.

For some, this was their first theatre experience and for others they have said this was their favourite theatre experience! It was a valuable experience with many of our students wanting to attend WAAPA and continue their love and passion for the Performing Arts. Students were engaged and immersed within the performance with so many plot twists within the script and now can’t wait to study the text in Semester 2!

The Line

The Year 12 General Dance students attended the State Theatre of WA to view Co:3’s performance of “The Line”.

Co:3 is Western Australia’s premier contemporary dance company who seek to deliver meaningful contemporary Australian art.

“The Line” began with looking at boundaries; boundaries not only defined by a physical area in Perth called the Prohibited Area, but also boundaries created between community, people, races genders, ethnicities and religions. “The Line” is an opportunity to acknowledge and share the history that lives in the veins of so many of us that reside in this city.

The piece was very powerful, incorporating contemporary dance along with some traditional Aboriginal movements and ideas. It was a wonderful experience to have the opportunity to see a very unique performance.
