Welcome

Hello and welcome to the Caloundra City Private School Artroom Blog.

Here you will find a celebration of the wonderful work produced by the amazing young artist at our school, my ramblings about their creative process and their wonderful works of art… did I mention the art?

Teachers, if you are inspired by the students’ artworks and use or adapt my lessons for your own class, I would love to see the results, so please link back to this blog.

Parents and friends, if you would like more information on any of the art projects that the children have completed, feel free to comment or email me. Even better, why not support your child in their creative endeavours by following or subscribing to this blog.

Treachery of Sanctuary by Chris Milk

One thing I love sharing with my students is a variety of artist's works. Thanks to this blog I can now expose them to so much more! The following work is an impressive example of how Art is developing to reflect our modern cultural experiences.
As part of the Creators Project, Technology and Art came together at Fort Mason in San Francisco. This amazing interactive work by  Chris Milk took visitors through three different experiences of flight. The series of 16-foot by 22-foot tall projections had visitors take centre stage; transforming their shadows with a succession of poetic gestures using motion sensing Kinects. The first panel saw the shadow decompose into a flock of birds, the second had birds swooping down to tear the shadow apart and the third transformed visitors into bird-like creatures with impressive-looking wings.
