ARTiculate 2022 serves as a platform to showcase exemplary artwork produced by HSC Visual Arts students within Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese.
The Articulate showcase 2022 celebrates the efforts of both our students and their teachers across the diocese by including an inspiring collection encompassing all expressive forms. The included Body of Works have been selected and submitted by class teachers and catalogues a diverse range of expressive forms and ideas. Each work is a testament to the creativity and talent of our students and an excellent resource inspiring others to explore their own artistic potential.
The Articulate Online Gallery also acknowledges the dedication and professionalism of the teachers and the support and commitment of the school community.
ARTiculate is brought to you by CAPTIVATE, the creative and performing arts program for Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta
Whether just starting out or already accomplished in dance, drama, music or art, there’s something for everyone!
