Visual Arts
Year 9 Photography and Digital Media students have demonstrated a remarkable ability to "see" and capture the intrigue and beauty of nature through their sensitive and insightful photography on our recent excursion to the Coffs Harbour Botanical Gardens. With a focus on exploring elements such as colour, dominance, focal point, visual texture, and simplicity from various viewpoints in the design brief, students have produced an array of images that showcase their growing technical skills and individual photographic styles. As an extension students have created photographic Colour Wheels using their imagery to represent the old adage ‘ROY G BIV’ (red, orange yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet).
It's inspiring to see the emergence of budding nature photographers within our class, and I'm excited for how their potential will unfold as we continue to explore new concepts and techniques in our future units. With their passion for photography and a keen eye for detail, I have no doubt that these students will continue to produce captivating and thought-provoking work that reflects their unique perspectives and creative talents.
