Perception: Norwood Morialta High School student exhibition

Published on 01 November 2019

Throughout this year, students in Years 8 to 12 have been creating works in Art, Design and Media using a range of subjects as inspiration. By analysing the works from historical and contemporary artists, film makers and designers, students have shown their creativity when applying practitioner’s techniques, within their own artistic vision. Many of the students have attended workshops, exhibitions or had guest presenters, who are professionals in their industry, to guide them in the creation of their works, developing a range of new techniques and adding to the quality of the work they present. Senior students have also produced pieces from workshops they have attended at the Adelaide Central School of Art and the Art Gallery of South Australia. Students have used a range of mediums including painting, mixed media, sculpture, digital media, design and multimodal works. Working under the broad theme of ‘Perceptions’ to help guide their personal visual aesthetic, creating a variety of works that are unique, moving and demonstrate their skills as budding artists or designers. 

Students have created works interpreting the broad theme of 'Perceptions' whether it is their own personal identity, intercultural relationships or links to the environment. Adolescents are at a stage where they are becoming more self-aware and form their own identity, so this is an ideal time to study perceptions as they explore how they relate to themselves, contemporary culture and the world. At Norwood Morialta High School, students develop a passion for the arts and are encouraged to develop their creativity and critical thinking. The exhibition provides students with an opportunity to develop their creativity in tangible ways and form connections with the arts community allowing them to flourish as they enter a world of great change.

Exhibition concludes on Saturday 9 November at 5 pm.
