Bathurst Show 2012

It may be somewhat early to start mentioning the Bathurst Show, but the learners are already hard at work preparing  for the art section of the show. The Bathurst Show runs during the Easter holidays from 30 March to 1st April 2012. Click on the link if you would like to find out more about the Bathurst Show.

We'll be putting up pictures of the learners artworks as time draws nearer to the competition.

Photographs - old and new.

Please remember to check out our photos of school events and artworks on our Flickr account. We'll be adding both old and new photos, throughout the year. (You'll find the link of the right hand side of the screen.)

Matrics 2011

The staff at Carinus Art School would like to congratulate the Matrics of 2011 on all their hard work last year. In Visual Art there was 5 'A's, and 5 'B's, and in Design there was 1 'A' and '1' B. We would also like to wish all the Matrics of 2011 all the best for the future.

Matric Exhibtion

Now that the Annual school exhibition is out of the way, the Matrics now each have to put up their own personal exhibition of works from through the year. This work will be moderated within the next three weeks and the mark will go towards their final Matric mark.

Here are a few images of the some of the works.

 

Carinus Art Exhibition - SETTING UP

At the end of our third term, we held our annual Exhibition. Here are some photos from the week before, when the teachers were busy organizing and setting up the exhibition .

Annual Art Exhibtion

Well, its third term and that means that the school's annual art exhibition is coming up soon. Every year the teachers of both the junior learners (Grade 4 - 9) and the senior learners (Grade 10 -12) choose the best artwork to be displayed in a week long exhibition that is open to the public.

This year the opening night, which by invitation only, is on 21 September and the exhibition is being opened by Mr Keith van Winkel, who is the Director of the Arthur Cotton Center for Design and Technology at St Andrew's College.This year we are also doing something a little different. All the second project throughout the grades were centered around our environment and as artists and designers it is important to be aware of the effect that we have. Therefore this year one of the rooms of the exhibition is going to solely dedicated to environmental awareness - "The Green Room".

Please come and support the school, and all the wonderful work that the learners do.

Going once...going twice...SOLD! to the highest bidder.




Table decor

 

On 27th May, Carinus once again hosted the annual Banquet and Art Auction. The theme this year centered around "Green Cuisine" which was inspired by the class theme for this term of being eco-friendly. Going along with this theme the hanging flowers and most of the other decor was made with scrap paper, newspaper and magazines.

The staff incorporated the theme into the menu by serving an array of green foods which included Leg of Lamb served with Salsa Verde, as part of the main course, Pistachio Ice Cream and mint leaves dipped in chocolate as part of the dessert.




Apple Schnapps Cocktails

 

The auction included both artworks very kindly donated by local Eastern Cape artists as well as learners. This year we had the addition of a silent auction which was innovative way of buying art for those that are little less outspoken. 

All-in-all it was a very successful evening and we have had a lot of positive feedback. The Carinus staff would like to thank all the artists that so willingly gave their artworks for the evening, and to thank the guests that participated with such enthusiasm.
