to everyone who celebrated their birthday during the past 2 weeks! Harley M Spencer H Corey R Blake J Adam W Cameron Jay D-E Cayleb M Kiera B Tim R Jacob V Zoe B Studio Art: Major Projects Community Art Project. By Erick Maat. Who: Make Moe Glow and Art Students. What: Create an art work for the Narracan Drive Bridge, They gave us a Brief, paint and a metal plate each. Why: Was based on the History of Moe. Who: I researched and found logo, for the Gold Rush as gold was first panned at the Narracan Creek. How: We used Pop Art as a base of our designs and looked at Stenciling and Street Art. We cut out many stencils, so layer our designs and colours. We used Vipond paint and spray-paint for our work. Where: we made these at school in the art room and outside. The artworks have been installed on the Narracan Drive Bridge for the community to enjoy. I felt really good doing this project and I learnt how to use a scalpel to cut the fine details on stencils and use spray paint to create layers and special effects on my work. I had to think which way the wind was blowing so it would not affect the spray of paint. I had to wear overalls and a repository mask to spray paint. I found an image of a Chinese Gold Miner and used that, as the Chinese people came to mine in the area. Below is the art process. Studio Arts Major Projects Community Art Project written by Braydan Davis Last term, we did some art works for the Moe community group called Make Moe Glow for the Narracan Drive Bridge. They gave us a brief, paint and metal plate, the inspiration was based on the history of businesses of Moe that were founded here I researched and found a logo for Sunicrust and created the artwork based on this. We used Pop Art as a basis of our designs, we looked at stenciling and some street art, we cut out the stencils for our designs and colours, we used vipond paint and spray paint for our artwork. The artworks have been installed on the Narracan Drive Bridge for the community to see. There will be a newspaper article in the Latrobe Valley Express about this Art Project. I felt proud of myself because we spend a lot of time on this project. It was a lot of work and I learnt new skills, I had to cut out a lot of stencils with a scalpel and this was hard, but I did it. I liked spray painting. I had to wear a breathing mask.
The Hopeworks Trainees recently went for a visit to the Hopeworks Pakenham warehouse to complete some training in other aspects of the business. Of particular interest was training in using the pallet jack to move goods around the warehouse. Other than learning about the pallet jack one group of trainees worked in a team to complete a stocktake of food donated to a charity program. This involved checking on the quality of the donated fruits and vegetables, weighing the quality-checked items and then writing down the weight of the edible items to be given to families and the weight of the items that were inedible and would be donated for animal food. A second group of students worked in a team following a recipe to make sweet muffins using donated fruit. The muffins are handed out to homeless people. Hopeworks Pakenham
A third group made potato salad and coleslaw from donated produce to be served at a free charity barbeque that evening. During Literacy sessions this term, a group of SLC students have been working on improving their skills in the writing area, in particular, their proofreading and editing skills. The first activity has required students to select a movie of their choice and complete a movie review on this, answering a variety of questions and then summarising the movie. Once they have completed the first draft, they then proofread and edit with minimal assistance. A final copy is then produced using a word document. The second activity was one that required the students to read and summarise an article on the use of mobile phones in classrooms and then add their own opinion to this topic. Once again, they have completed the rough draft, edited and produced a final draft using a word document. All students should be very proud of their achievements with these activities.
ERICK MAAT, PIACSSO ART WORKS BRAYDEN DAVIS FINDLAY, PICASSO ARTWORKS I WANTED TO DO STUDIO ART THIS YEAR TO LEARN ABOUT NEW TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS AND GET BETTER AT IT. ERICK THIS YEAR I HAVE LEARNT A LOT OF ART TECHNICQUES, AND I AM MORE CONFIDENT TO DRAW. I REALLY STUDY MY SUBJECTS TO DRAW THEM. ART IS RELAXING FOR ME BRAYDAN STUDIO ARTS MAJOR PROJECTS: COMMUNITY ART PROJECTS, Last term, the Moe community group called make Moe Glow asked us to create an art work for the Narracan Drive Bridge. They gave us a brief, paint and a metal plate to use. It was based on the history of Moe or businesses that were founded by Moe. We researched and found logos of Sunicrust, Aygee and the Gold Rush and created an Artwork based on this. We used POP ART as a basis of our designs and looked at stenciling and street art. We cut out a lot of stencils to layer our designs colors, we also used spray paint to paint our work. The Artwork has been installed on the Narracan Drive Bridge for the community to enjoy. There will be an article in the L.V. Express about this art project. I created a design based on the Agyee drinks factory, that and their original drink is Portino. I liked recreating the design. It felt a bit stressful since they got a bit lost in the school and we only had two weeks to work on it but still it was fun spray painting it as I could layer the paint to get stenciled effects. I had to cut out about five layers of stencils. written by Kobi Haar
