Visual Arts
Students at TAS have the opportunity to further explore visual arts as part of the co-curricular offering in photography, film and pottery.
The Photography Club meets most weeks on Thursday lunchtimes to share ideas, ask questions, practice and learn techniques. From composition, lighting and exposure to the latest in camera bodies, accessories and apps, the club covers a wide range of interests. Guest speakers from both inside the school and the wider community willingly share their expertise. The club is working towards a photo exhibition and competition in November. All interested students and staff are welcome; contact TAS Reception on 6776 5800 or email [email protected]

Visual Arts Club
Starting up this year is a Visual Arts club for Middle School and Senior School students run by new Visual Arts teacher Polly Harvey. The group will meet after school for students to experiment with their artmaking interests and have some guidance in personal projects. The intention is for the group to have some national art prizes to work towards and students keen to learn more should contact Mr O’Connell or Ms Harvey.
