Swan Christian College were proud to present the inaugural Creative Lab exhibition of artworks presented for the Community Arts Endorsed Program. There was a real ‘buzz’ as parents, students and guests milled about the Maali Mia viewing a variety of created works, occasionally interrupted by a music, laser light show, musical performance, dance or drama item – also part of the exhibition. It was a thrilling and wonderful array of talent and skill development – so diverse in nature and form. We were privileged to have special guest artists visiting and providing feedback via individualised QR codes on each piece being presented.
Students in Creative Lab range from Years 10 to 12, where students can pursue a specific artistic interest. Through the mentoring and scaffolding provided by dedicated Swan staff, students have developed skills in their chosen area, but also demonstrated increasing autonomy and self-management of their learning. This event was a celebration not only of artistic endeavour and achievement, but also a celebration of self-motivated learning!
