Geordie Productions will be on campus to present: Shared Account
Written by Jesse Stong Directed by Dean Patrick Fleming Designed by Beth Kates    Wednesday November 20th at 7pm in the college cafeteria 

All are Welcome!

About Shared Account: Trying to start her life over after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, Aurora changes high schools and moves in with her single father in hopes of healing from her depression due to a vicious experience of online bullying. Finding the past difficult to delete and forced to carefully examine her own complicated feelings, she adamantly attempts to clear the path for her future and reconnect with her concerned father, who is increasingly distracted by his own mysterious online relationship. It's a play that challenges teen audiences to critically reflect and discuss bullying in schools and online, mental health issues and suicide.

Sculpture Studies Exhibition
 

"Sculpture Studies" is an exhibition of the first project of the students of Studio Art: Drawing. Having studied the lighting effects used by artists such as Caravaggio, Vermeer, and Rembrandt, each student has made a charcoal study of a sculpture from art history. Take a look at these ambitious drawings on the walls between the 3rd floor exit door and the staircase. As well, there is a face made up of the facial features of four different students exhibited in the front display case by the main entrance. Each student made a charcoal drawing of their eye, nose or mouth after carefully observing all of the minute details using a mirror. Congratulations, art students, for your marvellous observation and drawing skills!
