School Creative & Performing Arts Program 2016

Education in the arts is integral to the development of each human being. Those who have studied learning processes throughout the ages, beginning with Plato, have emphasised the importance of fostering an understanding and love of the arts in the education process both in and outside the formal classroom environment. The Creative and Performing Arts program at Lindisfarne not only caters for the student whom has elected to study either Drama, Dance, Music, and/or the Visual Arts but also for those who have chosen to focus their learning elsewhere. There are opportunities to join ensembles and to further their learning through the process of individual tutoring in their chosen discipline. All students have the opportunity to experience appreciating the arts by attending any of the events listed in this booklet. Years of research shows that an effective education in the arts is closely linked to almost everything we as a nation want for our children; academic achievement, social and emotional development, community engagement and equal opportunity. By participating in any one or more of the Visual Arts, Dance, Drama or Music disciplines we offer our students the chance to explore, to problem solve, to appreciate, to collaborate and to generally stretch their minds beyond what they thought was possible.

INFORMAL CONCERT SERIES Performing live for the first time can be a daunting task. No matter what your instrument, as soon as you are on stage with a live audience, nerves come into play and with that, sometimes flaws appear. Musicians need audiences and performance in order to hone their techniques and to receive valuable, critical feedback. This informal concert series is open to all students currently studying an instrument and is organised by Ms Tina Ross, Coordinator of Performing Arts, Preschool to Year 4, and Ms Lucie Schuricht, Coordinator of Music, Years 5 to 12.

LIFE DRAWING WORKSHOP Term 1 School Life Drawing Workshops are designed for Years 11 and 12 Visual Arts students to develop an understanding of the fundamentals of the human form, how clothing, gesture and body language inform character and intent and how to breathe life into their figures. Drawing is a form of expression. Through observing the human form, students are guided to develop proficiency in drawing with a variety of art materials exploring positive and negative space. Disney senior animators still attend life drawing classes. You can draw animation and gesture without life drawing, but life drawing skills give you proportion, structure, perspective, and a certain vitality through rhythmic gestures, says Gnass, a former Disney TV storyboard artist. Gnass has taught at Disney since 1995, as well as DreamWorks Animation, Sony Pictures Imageworks and Nickelodeon, among others. You can t achieve dynamics without bones and structure, and in order to have structure you need to study it. From there one can extend out in any direction towards any style.
