Art Update

In Visual Art we encourage collaborative projects as much as possible. These students have been working hard to plan, draw and paint this amazing work. 

Our Inquiry topic for term two is Indigenous Australia. Students from all year levels will explore the fascinating links between Australian Indigenous culture and history and their Art.

We will look at the amazing work of Gloria Petyarre from the Anmatyerr language group in the Central Desert region of Australia. We will revisit the wonderful work of Taungurung artist, Maddi Moser who provided a wonderful incursion for grade three to six students at school last year and we will learn how to create our own story boards according to the process outlined by “Uncle” Ted Laxton and The Pitcha Makin Fellas; an Indigenous group of artist based at Federation University in Ballarat. Students will glean inspiration from these and many more examples of Indigenous culture.
