Melbourne arts festival

Today's the day! The first event of this academic year for the chellaston art department. We've all pulled together along with some very helpful kids to get the exhibition space built.... And it looks fab!

I hope everyone gets a good chance to go and have a look- there is some cracking work not only in our exhibition, but around the entire building too! So much creativity.
 
Good luck to our students who have entered the competition and hopefully we'll see you there!


Even Roger Charles made a quick, helpful visit today!

Rayographs; Camera-less Photography!


Here are a few photographs made by our year 11 students, with a big difference; they are made without a camera!

You place objects directly onto the surface of photographic paper and then expose it to light. After a chemical process, the result is a negative image; the reverse of a silhouette.
