Art, dance, design, drama – HSC talent on display
Renee Currie, formerly of De La Salle College, Cronulla, chosen to perform at the Sydney Opera House
Graphic design student Justin Stambouliah’s computer-generated artwork was designed so that the viewer could look deeply and discover what he “is all about”.
Justin, a Marist College North Shore graduate was one of a number of students from systemic Catholic schools in the Sydney archdiocese to have their HSC work chosen for showcasing in the ArtExpress, Design Tech, Call Back or OnStage exhibitions – annual exhibitions that highlight outstanding HSC work in visual art, design and technology, dance and drama.
Justin’s work – I Am the Product of All that I Produce – was created using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illust rator software.
It will be displayed at the Art Gallery of NSW as part of ArtExpress.
It is made up of eight panels, each portraying an aspect of his life: his ancestry and family background, likes and dislikes, his ‘dark side’, schooling and education, ideal woman and views on religion.
“It’s a great honour to have my work in the art gallery,” says Justin.
He paid tribute to his art teacher, Carolyn O’Brien, who, he says, was a great asset in helping him be selected for ArtExpress.
“She is one of the best art teachers. She lets you do you own thing, but gives good feedback and advice,” he said.
This year Justin is studying graphic design at Enmore Design Centre. He hopes to work in visual effects for film and TV.
Muge Cakir, of Trinity Catholic College Auburn, and Cara Mann, of Holy Cross College Woollahra, also had their work selected for ArtExpress. Muge’s piece The Gap Between Fine Art and Life, is displayed in the State Library of NSW, while Cara’s Babushka is part of the National Art School exhibition in Darlinghurst.
In the field of dance, former De La Salle College Cronulla student Renee Currie was chosen to perform at the Sydney Opera House in Call Back.
Renee’s performance is based upon an interpretation of abstract geometry, especially circles and spheres, and is strongly influenced by mime.
As well as studying dance at school, Renee attends the Farrell Academy at Cronulla.
She hopes to continue dancing professionally this year while undertaking a science degree.
In the area of design and technology, Zaneta Kozevski, from Bethany College Hurstville had her work Cordelia – Theatrical Costume for King Lear chosen for the Design Tech 2001 NSW Regional Tour.
She created the costume after learning that her school’s drama department couldn’t afford costumes for a performance of King Lear.
The clever design enables the costume to be recycled for other school plays.
Zaneta is enrolled now in a Bachelor of Design course at the University of Technol ogy. Her goal? A career in fashion design.
Drama student Jessica Prexl, a Year 12 student at All Saints Senior Catholic College Casula, last year had her individual drama project – a portfolio of theatre criticism – selected for OnStage.
It will be displayed in the foyer of the Seymour Centre where the OnStage drama pieces will be performed.
