Camberwell Grammar School – Artist in Residence

Featured Project

“Urban Jungle” by Serene Lau and Camberwell Grammar School students from prep to year 5.

Back in August 2025, I had to amazing opportunity to be a resident artist for their junior years at Camberwell grammar school. It was a first for me to explore sustainability in Paints via my Fish Safe Paints project and incorporate it into a collaborative animation. From making the freshest watercolours from food to making animation on ClipChamp, click the button below to see how it was done!

Featured Bornean

I think my 6 year old self would be cuffed to find out that I’ve stuck to my guns and kept being an Artist! My childhood friend’s dad actually sent the interview I did for Borneo Insider Guide which is so lovely as I hope my visibility gives other Borneans encouragement to pursue a creative career.

A summary of my time as camberwell grammar resident artist in 2025. Video and music made by me #serenekitchen #serenelau #fishsafepaints #sustainableart #camberwellgrammarschool #residentartist @artymouse.inthehouse Part 3: Viola! I present "Urban Jungle", a collaborative animation made by the students of Camberwell Grammar Junior School and me. The final outcome was projected on paper at the Biennial Junior School Art School (Oct 2025) that featured students' raw walking cycles and responses. I had a great time explaining how it worked to the parents when they gave a quizzical look to their kids when they said "I painted that" whilst pointing at an animated pigeon. Part 2: My second artist engagement week focus was on animation, we covered: Part 1: I had the amazing opportunity in August 2025 to be Camberwell Grammar School Resident Artist for their Junior years. When Artist and Art Teacher Sofi wanted a uniquely pioneering experience for her students that combined sustainability and digital animation, this was what we came up with: Photo credits Fed Square, photographer James Henry.
