Teaching and Learning-Year 11 m88 Sports Betting
On Friday 18 October, the Year 11 Visual Art students spent the day m88 Sports Betting Art room for their IA1 authentic experience and participated in a wonderful incursion with the award-winning artist Tamara Armstrong. They learnt about her own practice, and under her guidance created several experimental pieces which will go towards their final IA1 response in Year 12.
As an artist, Tamara explores themes of Identity, and she shared personal stories of her own cultural heritage m88 Sports Betting journey she has taken as a contemporary artist. As a portrait painter, Tamara also looks to nature as an inspiration for her work and uses her love of colour to create visually bold and uplifting canvases.
Tamara has been a finalist in some of Australia's most prestigious art awards for female painters; the Portia Geach Memorial Award, as well as having work selected for the 'Salon des Refusés' aka the alternate Archibald Prize, the Kennedy Prize, the Redland Bay Award and the Brisbane Portrait Prize. Her work is highly collectible and hangs internationally in private collections as well as substantially across commercial spaces and private collections in southeast Queensland, and Australia wide. Painting is her passion, and her m88 Sports Betting is largely inspired by striking palettes and patterns observed both in the design world as well as from the natural surrounds of lush rainforests and favourite island destinations.
The students started off by creating collage portraits using brightly coloured paper, and used pen and ink to incorporate line work. Moving onto large canvases, they followed Tamara’s technique of using limited colours and layering the paint application before adding shapes and incorporating m88 Sports Betting of tropical leaves.
Everyone agreed that it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience. These valuable insights into Tamara’s practice will help them create an inquiry question that will form the basis of their body of work in Year 12. I’d like to thank Tamara for her enthusiasm, patience, and guidance as she gently encouraged all students to get the most out m88 Sports Betting incursion and produce some wonderful unique experimental pieces.

Teaching m88 Sports Betting - Year 8Science
Year 8 students are studying biology in science with Mrs Wilson and Mr Hallerman this term and m88 Sports Betting learning about plant and animal cells and their associated organelles.
As a consolidation activity, students were asked to model an animal cell using a zip lock bag (representing their cell membrane), jelly (representing the cytoplasm) and a variety of edible items m88 Sports Betting sultanas, lollies and sprinkles to represent the other cell organelles. Students needed to plan, create and annotate their model and then reflect on how well their model represented the cell, including identifying areas that may have misrepresented a real animal cell.
Whilst the learning experiencewas sometimes messy when the cell membranes leaked, students had fun demonstrating the knowledge they have learnt m88 Sports Betting, and a number of amazing models were created.
Their studies will continue along the theme of biology m88 Sports Betting upcoming weeks with students investigating the circulatory and respiratory systems, including an activity where students will undertake a heart dissection and view a "pluck' (lungs and heart) being inflated to show how they work.
Well done Year 8 on your models this week.
