7A ART EXCURSION

On Thursday 2 March, 7A Art class attended an excursion to Flinders Lane Gallery.  Students have been learning about Portrait Art and were able to view a range of portrait paintings in oil paint on canvas by local Melbourne artists.  Students learnt about the characteristics of a Private art gallery and were able to use the artworks as inspiration for their own portrait work.  We followed up the gallery visit with a trip to ACMI to view and interact with the Screen Worlds exhibition, showcasing media from contemporary and past Australia.  Students were able to take part in making digital artworks, interact with video works, and learn about Australian history whilst there.  There were many valuable resources to draw inspiration from in Art.  A fantastic day was had by all!
