I have equal admiration for Savannah Kruger‟s clever and striking piece entitled, Smoke & Mirrors. A complexwork, it consists of a series of witty self-portrait photographs, each depicting Savannah dressed up as many differentaspects of a young woman‟s identity. These portraits are contrasted with a video of Savannah removingmake up projected back into the mirror of a dressing table. This is a sophisticated and innovative piece of artthat manages to be bold and shy, fun and reflective and fun and meaningful all within the one artwork.In Year 12 Visual Communication and Design, Matthew Cheuk forged a purposeful connection between his folioand a real life need by designing a highly professional, creative and tech- savvy digital menu with i-pod mountsfor his father‟s restaurant. I intend to visit the restaurant not only for the food but also to use this amazingmenu.Matthew Cheuk’s Digital MenuAnother Visual Communication and Design student I would like to acknowledge is Jason Glab. The first day afterofficial classes for Year 12 students finished, Jason was back in the VCD room bright and very early designingthe Art Exhibition promotion poster, a responsibility he also undertook last year.In Year 12 Textiles, all students have completed the most wonderfully designed and sewn garments. The one Iam singling out for special mention belongs to the only boy in the class. Kemal Guney‟s textile project was todesign and make the prettiest quilt cover for his baby sister. I am sure all will agree that Kemal‟s baby sister isvery lucky to have him as an older brother.Savannah Kruger’s Dressing table Kemal Guney’s Quilt Cover Jason Glab’sArt Expo PosterIn addition to congratulating the Graduating Class of 2011 for their achievements in Art/Design and many othersubjects, I hope I have effectively communicated my appreciation of their appreciation of their teachers‟ effortsto help them to achieve their best results. I mention here only one of many examples of our students‟ generousacknowledgement of their teacher‟s dedication.
