About Arts Mag
Since its inception seventeen years ago, Arts Mag has shone its spotlight on the artistic talents of the Collingwood School student body. We have celebrated art in a kaleidoscope of forms by showcasing the prowess of painters, drawers, dancers, orators, musicians, singers, actors, poets, writers, sculptors, photographers, designers, and more. From budding artists to seasoned veterans, the students and teachers who have graced the pages of Arts Mag have shared their inspiration, their philosophies, and their passions vis-à-vis life and the role of art.
We have even followed the creative path of some of these individuals beyond Collingwood; some alumni have continued to pursue their art as a pastime and others as a post-secondary career. Some have even experienced the transformative energy of art, and have discovered new or different means of artistic expression.
At every stage, Arts Mag has strove to delight the senses through the richness of colour, movement, texture and musicality that our artists have captured in their works. It is with admiration, joy and awe that the Arts Mag team thanks our contributors. In the same vein of artistic exploration and creative experimentation, we have decided to update the look of Arts Mag. We hope that you enjoy the new format.

Editor's Note
Dear readers of Arts Mag,
The fortitude of the Collingwood community has been evident throughout this term during both Modules 1 and 2. Many courses in the Art Department had to adapt to new restrictions and find creative ways to return to the in-class setting.
Nevertheless, it has been inspiring and encouraging to see the perseverance and dedication to the arts during these times. As evidenced in this season, many artists have found new time to perfect their craft or explore new ones, whereas others have been looking forward to the days where they can return to their ‘normal’ performances. If you are looking for inspiration, search no longer — plenty of it can be found.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy a warm drink as you read our new season — you won’t regret it.

Chloe Mee is a Grade Twelve student, and it is her fifth year being a member of the Arts Mag team. This is her second year being co-editor, and her fifth year as a writer. An ardent lover of the arts herself, Chloe has always found learning more about other artists and their hidden talents inspiring. She can lose herself in the world of art whilst writing, reading a well-crafted piece of literature, singing and playing the clarinet in various ensembles. This year she is also learning soprano saxophone in Jazz Band. |

Chloe Zhu — Artistic Director
Chloe is a grade 10 student who loves reading and has consequently realized a passion for writing. When it comes to the former, her favourite genre is classical French literature, whereas for the latter, she intends on engaging herself to the fullest this year in Arts Mag. When not reading, Chloe can be found daydreaming, listening to little-known music albums, and catching up with news from the 19th century. |
