Green Stone Mingle – Come and Support our Grade 12 Students
March 18, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
As our graduates enter their final semester we come together as a community to support the preparation for their Green Stone presentations in June.
Fixing My Broken Mould – Nikita Pettigrew
For my project I’ll be looking into why I have a fear of rejection when it comes to my passions such as dance and music. I’ll be looking into why I feel the need to hide the things I am good at, along with that, I am also in the middle of writing a song, which I will later record and dance to during my greenstone performance.
Where do I need help?: I need help with understanding the psychology of fear.

Comfort in Discomfort – Tarn Hutton
MY project is about finding to comfort in uncomfortable situations. I am going to live with a tribe in the Mentawais and see what it is like living without the luxuries I have learnt to live with. The theory of enjoying discomfort is very interesting to me and I believe that some of the best experiences and most growth come from it.
Where do I need help?: Writing the script.

A Battle between Purpose and Art – Zalan Kaman
My goal throughout my Green Stone journey is to turn conventional designs upside down and force people to take a different perspective. Part of this being that I don’t want to limit myself to common mediums, and rather using the open-ended nature of contemporary art to create pieces that are hard to categorize. I am interested in flipping traditional and common fashion and furniture concepts as well as toying with purpose and functionality. I am inspired by the Dada movement, and how the First World War drove many artists into this nonsensical and satirical movement. Man Ray’s Cadeau, for instance, embodies the purposelessness that I want to exhibit. Alongside the loss of purpose, I want to emphasize the creation of new function with my art. All of these pieces that I plan to make will serve as a check to our traditional perspectives, and mix art with design and furniture in a statement against conformity.
Where do I need help?: Talk with someone who actuals design art or clothes, any furniture that isn’t needed, cool materials to work with, etc.
