Extras from Graduation
Balloons arched over a yellow carpet runway. Lovely garden urns full of yellow marigolds and fern on the stage. Flanked by topiary bushes. All lovely touches provided by Year 11 parents. A tradition held at St Ives High, where Year 11 parents step up to decorate and organize the Year 12 Graduation ceremony.
Outside we walked towards the gym on a path lined with pots of marigolds and tealights. Lights were strung from the trees in the centre quad as well as fairy lights in topiary bushes lining the walk.
This all added to a lovely atmosphere, totally transforming the school yard.
Again I wished I had taken more photos.

Australia's Biggest Book Fair
Well Done Julia!

Cupcakes Sales
What a successful day, $465 raised towards The Australian Literacy Society.
Julia applied to host a book stall to raise money for her passion - improving child literacy in Australia.
The school community answered her calls for book donations; and as you can see the she was supported very well. The stall was run on voting day, held in the school hall, a perfect time to reach the wider community.
Cupcakes and Julia go hand in hand. She also cooked and organized others to cook dozens of cupcakes to sell at the stall.
Good on you Minnie Mouse, proud of you.

Lace Doily showing shattered and cracked by using embroidery thread.
Nothing is as it appears.
Treasure box, bowls and flowers made by moulding doilies around everyday family objects.
Bowls have printed cloth ribbons woven through them showing secrets many families hide from the outside world; Debt, Suicide, Abuse, Death, Divorce and more.

To the right is a doily, on it is written one of Julia's poems in pen and ink.
We are bound by the Secrets we Share.
Collage surrounded by pen and sepia ink drawing.
Stencilling on wood tray showing protection through marriage.
All the items used, plaques, trays, doilies, etc were sourced at many antique shops, markets & secondhand shops here in NSW as well as Tasmania. The wonderful shelf unit, which tied the whole piece together was found at our local Tip Shop or Buy Back Shop at the recycle plant.
Art Teacher gave each student a trick gift relating to the highs and lows involved in the process of getting their works to the finished stage for this exhibit and marking.
Julia received stick on lace, silhouettes, and olde world images she had been searching out all year.
Found at the dollar shop, a little late, but very funny.
Poster for 2012 Visual Art Exhibit
Well done everyone!
This was a long, tough road for Julia. She will be the first to tell you, "I am no artist".
I am proud of her, and her efforts in firstly finding a medium she could work with;
then coming up with her vision to portray Family Secrets.
As you can see it was a small art class with only 12 students in all.
The student's works were varied and well executed.
From a wonderful animation by Paul, to a fantastic huge branch and rusty fence wire nest (which I loved), Claire Pullan's work showing movement through dance in a series of large panels was very well done. Along with a series of fantastic underwater photographs, portraits in pencil and photography, installation art and bubble gum. Yes - bubble gum. An interesting reproduction of Starry Night in bubble gum on the bottom of a school desk, by Duncan Corrigan.
Varied indeed.
