Studio Arts Excursion

On Wednesday 26 February, the Year 12 Studio Art and Year 11 Art classes visited the National Gallery of Victoria for the Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat ‘Crossing Lines’ exhibition. We had the pleasure of attending a short lecture, giving us some background on both artists’ lives before being able to see the works for ourselves.

The exhibition was very interesting and the space was clever with the curatorial decisions of a yellow room, music and visuals of the 80s, the original found surfaces such as doors for canvases and the many chosen artworks.  

Whilst at the NGV, we also visited the ‘Salon Room', which replicated the original early 1700’s exhibition in Paris, giving us a contrasting view of how art exhibitions have evolved through time. The Art class visited the Roger Kemp Exhibition while the Studio class visited a commercial gallery known as Flinders Lane where we witnessed exhibited works by more local, establishing artists, as well as some alternative spaces, which included Hosier Lane and the ‘Subway’ under Degraves Street. This allowed us to witness many different kinds of art forms, from murals, to paintings and small installations in many different gallery spaces.

Despite all of us coming away with sore feet, we all left feeling extremely inspired and ready to take this inspiration back to the art rooms and into our folios.
