Lourdes Hill students take art journey

YEAR 12 visual arts students from Lourdes Hill College, Hawthorne, took to the Brisbane River recently.

The girls began the year with a “journey down the river”.

As part of their studies students explored the concept of journey by taking a City Cat journey along the river to the arts precinct at South Bank.

Working under grey, rain-laden skies the girls captured the hustle and bustle of city traffic and the calm of the rain over gardens and lawns.

Black-and-white photography was used by the students to further explore the visual beauty of the natural and built environment of the area.

A visit to Contemporary Australia: Optimism at the Gallery of Modern Art served to enhance students understanding of contemporary art practices and approaches.

The journey home on a City Cat completed the “journey”.

Meanwhile, Lourdes Hill students dug deep for the Victorian bushfire victims at the college’s annual Lourdes Day Mass.

Year 11 student Shelby Clark said that the morning the news broke about the recent fires students were quickly brainstorming for ways to help.

“We thought of everything from clothes drives, donations of supplies and even the sending of equipment to the school that fell victim the blaze,” she said.

Shelby said eventually the decision was made to have a collection plate at the end of the Lourdes Day Mass.

“We chose not have any gimmicks around our giving, but simply to give from our hearts because the need was so great,” she said.

“Our collection plate soon turned into 10 ice-cream buckets that collected over $7000 for the relief fund.

“Every girl (dug) deep and no one was left untouched by the generosity of both girls and teachers alike.”

Shelby said the effort was a true reflection of the values of the college – “a community based on the Benedictine values of compassion and generosity without the expectation of anything in return”.
