The Arts

This artwork that has been created effortlessly represents the theme, joy and has multiple reasons to prove it. For example, the bright and detailed sunset has been executed in a way that you can only understand when viewing the artwork. The sheer tones and contrast between the hills and trees makes the artwork deeply effective. This sunset represents joy as the yellows and light oranges, as well as deep purples and violets, which are joyful colours.

Another example of why this artwork unarguably represents and demonstrates joy is that the three people and the dog represent our family, as we are at our favourite holiday destination, on Four Mile Beach. We are running with our dog on the beach as the sun sets and it makes us feel joy on such a joyous evening. To summarise, this artwork is a well executed and visually appealing piece, and brings happiness when you look at it.

Title: For the Joy of the Game
In our world today there are few places where we gather, like Church or School, and celebrate joyfully. My artwork is a painting and photo collage, capturing a moment of joy and hops during the 2012 premiership AFL game. Look past the image of Adam Goodes and focus on the faces of people who show the atmosphere, culture and spirt of community. St Paul recognised the spirituality in everyday life and that is why I chose to paint this joyful scene.

My artwork depicts the joy found in sharing meals with family and friends. It has been created using animated and colourful techniques to highlight the joy I feel when we sit and enjoy eating and conversing with each other.
My Grandmother always reinforced the significance of sharing meals as ritual and an important part of my …culture.
This artwork was inspired by our Catholic faith’s celebration of the Eucharist which translates to a time of giving thanks. The act of gratitude also brings me joy and is a gentle reminder that being grateful for my friends, family and the food I have, is important to recognise each day.
