Our Year 12 Visual Art students embarked on a creative excursion across Adelaide in Term 1, immersing themselves in both educational and professional art spaces.
The day began at the SACE Art Show in Light Square, where students explored an impressive range of folio works. Seeing how themes and techniques were interpreted in diverse and personal ways sparked new ideas and provided valuable direction for their own assessments.
Students then visited the University of Adelaide, touring the Kaurna Building (Architecture) and Dorrit Black Building (Visual Arts), guided by student volunteer Lexie. They explored state-of-the-art workshops including 3D printing, glass blowing, ceramics, photography, printmaking, jewellery and textiles, gaining insight into future study pathways.
The excursion concluded at the JamFactory, where students engaged with contemporary craft and design in a professional context. This experience strengthened the connection between classroom learning and real-world practice.
Students described the day as “inspiring,” “clarifying” and “so much fun,” leaving with fresh ideas and renewed excitement about their creative journeys ahead.
We are proud of the way our students engaged with this opportunity and look forward to seeing how it shapes their future work.
