Artistic excellence makes the world sit up in wonder.

The Visual Arts Department at Mount Roskill Grammar School is a small but vibrant department with a team of dedicated teachers. The aesthetic and technical training that students receive in the Visual Arts Department provides a valuable basis for entry into further education at tertiary level, and our students have a sound record of gaining positions at tertiary art and design institutions.

Senior Art Trip on Wednesday 10 March

On Wednesday 10 March the senior Art & Photography students will be going on a trip into the central city. The bus leaves from the front of the school at 9.30 am and we will back at school in time for SSR and period 5.
The first stop on our trip will be to the Auckland City Art Gallery to see Public Access by Cut Collective.


 'The Cut Collective is six like-minded individuals with varied personal histories in art making. After working on and off together for a number of years they decided to make the ongoing collaboration more permanent by forming the Cut Collective. Public Access was created by the Cut Collective to examine both the opportunities and limitations that an environment, i.e. public vs private, gallery vs street can have on site-specific work. Specifically how the site affects the artists way of working and brings our new considerations and challenges.' from the ACAG website 

We will be visiting a selection of Dealer Galleries in the central city - dealer galleries exhibit and sell artworks on a commission basis. Some artists currently exhibiting at dealer galleries are:
There is a map with the Auckland Art Gallery and the Dealer Galleries on Art Precinct.
    Year 12 Photography students will be making their way down to Britomart with Miss Fels and  spending the majority of the morning taking photographs of Britomart. After visiting Public Access and the dealer galleries the year 12 & 13 Art students will be going to the Media Design School for an orientation tour.
