Grade 10 Visual Arts: ‘Creative Journey’ Project This semester, our Grade 10 Visual Art students embarked on an inspiring creative journey, selecting and exploring their chosen media and materials while cultivating their unique ideas to produce final artworks for exhibition. The resulting collection is notably diverse and compelling, reflecting a wide range of perspectives and artistic voices.
“Maya” By Maya Oil Paint, Oil Pastel, Watercolor, Mixed Media At the center is me as I appear to the world, but the background is how I see myself: colors, sequins, glitter, abstract stars. This piece reflects both realities of my body and my mind, bringing together the seen and the felt.
‘Stein reflections’ By Gimmy Watercolor Painting This picture captures a moment from my family trip across Germany, France, and Switzerland. When I saw this view at Stein am Rhein, it felt incredibly cinematic, peaceful, timeless and filled with warmth. The soft light on the old stone walls, the stillness of the river, and the warmth of the golden hour is all captured in one image. Similar to the work of artist Frank W Benson,I wanted to create a painting that could capture the warmth and preserve the feeling of the moment.
‘A Town with an Ocean View’ By Joanne Acrylic painting This piece is titled after my childhood favorite film’s theme song, and the painting is inspired from my trip to Japan with my childhood friends. It references the artist Jeremy Miranda’s style of overlapping interior and exterior environments, creating a sense of nature versus man. Moreover, this is a memory that I want to cherish forever, because it is an unforgettable time I shared with my friends.
‘The Fairy Playground’ By Peach 88 CONCORDIAN IMPACT - ISSUE 43
Mixed Media My project’s main theme is ‘Girlhood’. When I think back of my childhood memories I have a very clear memory that comes to mind of me playing with a storybook. The story book had 3d paper houses and fairy dolls. This memory to me represented what ‘Girlhood’ felt like, which is why I chose it to be the inspiration for my artwork. I also incorporated different flowers such as tulips which is a symbol for the beauty of women and is often associated with women’s day associations. I also used lilies to symbolize a mother’s love and how crucial it is in Girlhood.
