Wynberg Create

Grade 9 Visual Arts
For their final drawing exam, the boys had to extend a printed image using mixed media, blend their own style into the scene, and include personal symbols that represent who they are. Such a cool mix of technical skill and self-expression. They pushed themselves and produced incredible work.

The MOCAA Art Club at Zeitz MOCAA, at Africa’s largest contemporary art museum, was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My art teacher, Ms Lategan, encouraged me to apply, and I genuinely didn’t think I would even get an interview, but I did, and then I got accepted. Over six months, we met every second Saturday and explored a huge range of art styles and mediums including collaborative drawing, printmaking, material assemblage, sound mapping and more. It wasn’t just about making art, it was about understanding how identity, memory and place shape who we are.

We visited the Iziko South African National Gallery, explored landscapes like the UWC Cape Flats Nature Reserve and the V&A Waterfront, and responded to exhibitions by Nolan Oswald Dennis and Sue Williamson. Every session pushed us to observe, reflect, make, and connect. I met incredible creative teenagers from all over Cape Town and these shared experiences created friendships I will cherish forever. Working together taught us that creating together is another way of belonging.

All our work grew into our own exhibition at Zeitz MOCAA, “Situated in Formation,” which still feels surreal. I learnt so much, met amazing people, and grew both creatively and personally. It was an unforgettable, transformative experience. Andre Steele, Gr 11
