Year 5/6 Mainstream Celebrating Learning
Artwork Production images:
This week in our For Our Elders Unit we began production of our artwork. We have started painting backgrounds and illustrating other elements for our animations.
The Lume images:
We also caught the train into the city to visit the Connection Exhibition at The Lume to inspire us for our artwork. Students enjoyed wandering through the space and taking time to appreciate the amazing artworks.
Poppy says:
It was really cool. It was really nice to see the whole room lit up with Aboriginal artwork. I really liked the room where you could move the sand around, that was really cool.
Jannis says:
It was fun. I liked how it was really open and we could explore where we wanted to go.
Luke says:
I enjoyed the projections and the mirror room where it was just a regular sized-room but had mirrors on top, bottoms and sides so it looked really big. I liked all the artworks and paintings.
Morgan says:
When we entered the first room it was really cool there was all sorts of animations. I like how when we went into the second room there was heaps of stuff on the walls, I also liked the room where you could move stuff with your body. It was really fun!
Otto K says:
It was pretty good. I really enjoyed the interactive room. I loved standing in the middle of the room and trying to spot all the projectors. It was so much fun to see how many projectors there were to project all the artworks. It was impressive that people had to remember Songlines and nowadays we are so lucky to have GPS!
“Connection was born from an idea to celebrate First Peoples' art and music and give back to their artist communities. Within the brushstrokes and melodies of their art and music, this landmark experience tells the story of our country’s rich and enduring cultural history... Within Connection, over 110 visual and musical artists converge, coalescing into the most expansive tapestry of First Peoples' art ever assembled. Across nearly 650 paintings, including 85 significant pieces of original art, emerging voices (such as Sarrita King and Konstantina) dance alongside those of master artists (including Emily Kame Kngwarreye and Tommy Watson), who collectively bring songlines from the remotest regions of this land to life”.
