SCULPTURE BY THE SEA EXCURSION
On Friday October 25, the Year 9 Visual Arts class visited the ‘Sculpture by the Sea’ exhibition. It was a visual arts experience in an out of classroom environment that was both educational and enjoyable. The exhibition showcases over one hundred sculptural works and contemporary practices, including site specific and ephemeral installations, by Australian and International artists. The exhibition takes place along the iconic coastal walk between Bondi and Tamarama beaches. The sculptures themselves are constructed from a diverse range of hybrid materials.
Students developed their understanding of, and individual responses to, sculpture as a visual art form though directed interactive discussion and art making activities on the day. Visual Arts plays an important role in the social, cultural and spiritual lives of individuals. It offers a wide range of opportunities to appreciate meaning -personally, culturally and as a form of communication. Congratulations to all students on their excellent behavior throughout the day. Thank you to Mrs Hume and Mr Kennedy for making this event possible.
