Madeleine Baldacchino 11CNMS3Saint Joan of Arc was canonized in 1920 for being a national heroine who led the French army to victory during the Hundred Years War when she was 16 years old. Joan of Arc is a symbol of mental and physical courage all over the world and people look to her as a sign of strength as she was a female visionary and revolutionary woman and military leader. I chose this theme because I think that Joan of Arc is a very inspirational individual who was sure of herself and her purpose even though she knew that it was unusual and even looked down upon. She showed me that we shouldn’t let people get the way of our dreams and we should never give up on doing what is right. She also showed me that women can be just as strong and fierce as men. Joan of Arc is a symbol of power for all women since then as she teaches not to give up or stand down. My final piece is not just an homage to her, but also a representation of strength in the female gender.

Victoria Cananzi 11CTRS3I have always been fascinated by blazing colours, intense fabrics and striking designs which can be created into a garment that reflects the idea of thinking ‘outside the box’ and going ‘above and beyond’ the expectations of ordinary garment design. The theme of ‘Bright and Bold’ intrigued me as there are essentially no limits to this theme. I communicated this theme by creating a using a dress design that clearly exceeds the idea of everyday clothing, instead, a design that is only seen in large fashion events and worn by high class celebrities. I created a mock up of such a design using a small-scale model.
Natasha Walsh 11OBNS1Inner demons more specifically the demons I or we as a collective face in everyday life, is the theme I wished to explore. I wanted to explore how inner demons present themselves. Is it through a person's anger or their cries, or do they just lie behind the surface of somebody's smile, undetectable? What do they look like? What are they created from? Is it jealousy, loss, anxious thoughts?
Caitlin Horton-Crundall 11CTRS2I was extremely interested in exploring the deep-rooted hatred of traditionally feminine elements and ideas from a masculine viewpoint and how this is presented in fashion, and the movement of which the idea of feminine fashion for men/mascs is being normalised. Personally, due to the social-constructs I was previously taught to understand, masculinity and femininity have often been defined in a very restrictive manner where people should adhere to traditional gender roles and traits. As I have come to understand more about the restrictive manner which these definitions place upon people, I have also learnt that the qualities which people associate gender with are unnecessary and outdated. I was keen to explore this idea through a garment which represents the ideas in a way which draws from traditional ideas and techniques, but is also altered to comment on a more contemporary standpoint as well as tying in new techniques and ideas.

Georgia Chard 11WMSS3Siena Capuana 11CHLS3The idea that I wanted to explore the idea of an Enchanted Garden this year. I wanted to create a piece that communicates the beauty of nature, whilst also adding a magical element. I am interested in this theme because I would like to explore the beauty of many different types of flowers, other foliage and perhaps small insects or animals. The petals on a flower are all shaped differently, but come together to create a soft and delicate piece of natural artwork. The combinations of pale, pastel colours and vibrant, bright hues of petals ensure that a flower stands out from the surrounding green and brown foliage. Admiring the imperfect areas of the flower helps you to understand the compelling and complex beauty of nature.
Julianne Cabanayan 11DLYS2A fantasy world can be produced from an endless imagination and there are no limits to these worlds, which encourages exploring many creative paths. I was interested in exploring this theme as when I was younger, I looked into worlds illustrated in many films and stories which gave a sense of magic. I was drawn to worlds with the “enchanted forest” look. These environments generally exhibited many mythical creatures or beings such as dragons, fairies/elves or wizards/witches, most with the plot in which the protagonist of the world is sent on an adventure or quest. These worlds are very important to me as they were the main focus in the games or stories my younger self and childhood friends would create. As I’ve grown older these stories have now become a way to connect with my childhood and to keep that imaginative outlook in modern society. My artwork exhibits a cross structure where each end supports a fantasy environment connected by bridges to illustrate a singular world.
