Torrens University Australia 2 mins read

 

Eesha Chand, Arndell Anglican College student is a winner in the Visual Arts category of Torrens University's Bright Awards. 

Judges applauded her work saying, “Eesha’s work demonstrates exceptional precision, creativity, and a high standard of artistic excellence.” 

Professor Scott Thompson-Whiteside, Executive Dean, Design and Creative Technology, said the Bright Awards illustrate Torrens University’s commitment to supporting design and creative technologies in high schools and inspiring students to get a taste of pitching their work to the wider world in preparation for careers in design and media. 

“At Torrens University, we are committed to helping students harness their creative talents and start to become industry-ready and in demand by a range of organisations that value design. Entering the Bright Awards gives high school students the opportunity to spread their wings in a competition where they are challenged to show off and extend their skills and have their work assessed by industry experts. 

Our Billy Blue College of Design courses and degrees help students harness their creative talents and build the skills employers look for, so they graduate work-ready: entering awards are valuable skills to have when working in the design industry. 

“The Bright Awards also offers monetary prizes for both students and schools which go towards kick-starting their creative dreams,” said Scott.
