On 23 and 24 October, a group of Year 11 Carey students participated in the Art, Design and Technologies Future Pathways Melbourne Study Tour, an exciting two-day, overnight experience designed to inspire and inform students as they begin planning their future creative pathways.
The tour provided students with the opportunity to explore a range of tertiary institutions, creative studios, galleries and learning spaces across Melbourne. Throughout the two days, students gained valuable insights into future study options in the fields of art, design, technology and related creative industries.
Students toured university campuses and specialist facilities, meeting with academic staff and learning about the diverse range of courses available after secondary school. A highlight of the tour was visiting Blender Street Art Studios, where students were able to see creative practice in action and gain a deeper understanding of the skills and pathways required for careers in the creative sector.
The group also visited galleries and exhibitions, engaging with contemporary artworks and design projects that challenged their thinking and sparked new ideas. Hands-on workshops encouraged students to experiment with creative processes, develop their design thinking skills and draw inspiration for their own Year 12 studies and folio work.
We hope this experience has inspired students to continue exploring their creative passions and future possibilities in the fields of Art, Design and Technologies. Thank you to the students for their engagement and to the staff who supported this memorable learning opportunity.
