Melbourne Girls' College and City of Yarra Arts Partnership: Public Artwork, Barkly Gardens

Over the last term Harriet Turnbull's Year 9 Art class have been working collaboratively with City of Yarra, Artist in Residence, George Manioudakis to design and create an artwork for the facility block at Barkly Gardens in Richmond.

On the 17 and 18 of May the girls' installed their artwork, by painting the background of the work followed by spray painting stencil figures into their fantasy landscape.

The girls' throughout this partnership showed that they can work collaboratively and are not afraid of risk taking when creating, making and installing artwork. The girls should be very proud of what they have achieved!

Melbourne Girls' College would like to thank Angela Barnett, the Youth Development Officer at the City of Yarra for facilitating this partnership, and George Manioudakis for his artistic guidance.
