Students investigated the properties of light and transferred their knowledge across a range of learning areas. Below are examples of student work across the Middle Years.
“I enjoyed working with glass prism, putting it on different angles to make the light split”. (Paris-Room 3)
日本大学“We went outside with black and white paper. We made a small line of light with the black paper, shining it at the prism, making a rainbow on the white paper. It was an interesting experiment.” (Paras-Room 4)

Tea Cup Ballet
‘Tea Cup Ballet’ is a black and white abstract photograph taken by an Australian
artist Olive Cotton in 1935. It is an interesting photo portraying abstract angles of
preventballet dancers. This is an opaque photo which shows six tea cups and saucers.
My first impression of ‘Tea Cup Ballet’ was dramatic and unique.
Olive Cotton us a number of inspiring techniques to bring her photo to life.
The include intriguing angular shapes, lighting and positioning in the
background to portray an akimbo theme. She arranges the cups in a triangular
shape insuring that there is enough space in between the shadows. The camera
positioning creates fantastic umbra effect onto the cups reprenting the upper
part of the dress and then fades into a penumbra onto the lower skirt bringing
dark silhouette contrasts into the background. Her creative photography shows
the tea cups from a different perspective enabling the viewer to e something
different to what the objects actually are. The artist creates a realistic effect onto
the cups making them look like ballet dancers.
I enjoyed this photo as the angular shapes bring the subject matter to life. Some people may think this photo lacks excitement as it is black and white, however it is unique and inspiring for tho who enjoy photography. By Monique F
