Art Club

Under the Sea

Every week after school on a Monday, you can always see around fifteen MAGS junior students gathering in the E8 art class room to work on some spectacular pieces of art for the display room. It's a nice peaceful work environment with students sitting around the tables in groups casually working on the current project.

Being a year nine, Art Club was one of the first things I joined. The idea of relaxing for some time after school and doing something I like to do sounded inviting enough. At first I was slightly nervous, because it would be the first time I connected with other students outside of class and got to meet new people. However, my worries flew out the window as soon as I entered the classroom. Everyone was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was one that was pretty inviting. Trying new things is one of the best things you could possibly do at MAGS. You can get to know people as soon as possible, and make plenty of friends.

The art club's current project, to be put up in the display room, is themed around ocean creatures. Our team is divided into little groups to put together the big picture, a huge colourful collage of a sea of fish, octopi, and many more. The room is always full of colourful magazines and working students all gluing and shredding and talking. Slowly, bits and bits of coloured paper formed into radiant blue seahorses and bright orange lobsters. Work is still in progress as the students form their creations out of colourful scraps.

Many of the groups are well on track to finishing their artworks to put together on a sea of dark ocean for the final display, and all the students are loving the project. Once it's done, go to the display room and check out the beautiful collage!

The Summer holidays are coming up for those of you who are not yet out of school. And what better thing to do in your holidays than read comics? Well I guess you could go outside ... and read comics. So here's some basic myths about comics debunked followed by details on how you can get into comics that would interest you. 1. They are hard to read. A common comment I hear from people is that comics are too hard to read, the thing is - they're not really. And that's not because I was brainwashed from a young age to understand them. Comic books are literally books, you just read them like books. Left to right and top to bottom. As soon as you get used to it you forget you're even doing it. Action Comics, art by Andy Kubert, written by Grant Morrison 2. They are not all superheroes. Secret Wars #1 cover by Alex Ross Contrary to popular belief superhero comics don't dominate the medium.
