Catherine Karas

This year I’ve had the honour of being the 2023 Art and Design Captain. With numerous hours spent down in the studio, I’ve seen ideas develop into artworks and there has been a great enthusiasm all year long.

With my captaincy role, I’ve been running Art Club ensuring that it has been inclusive of all artistic qualities inhibited by students. It has been a great venue for collaboration of girls across all Year levels, fostering relationships and being apart of the St Catherine’s community.

The first project involved a collaboration of students being involved in the project “growth” where Posca pens were applied to display creative designs on the art studio window. With the second project, students were involved in clay immersion and developing hand building skills in creating their coil pots. The third and final project involved artistic abilities in exploring elements and principles of Art. Students learnt this by applying paint onto circular wooden boards with artworks ranging from geometric designs to realistic themes to textured three dimensional works.
