Year 8 Visual Arts Excursion to MAC Gallery and Nobbys Beach

On Tuesday the 17th of October Year 8 Visual Arts students went to MAC Gallery and viewed the exhibitions titled ‘Ian Strange-Suburban Interventions’ and Lateral Landscapes.

Students engaged in discussions and Critical and Historical investigations. Students were also given the opportunity to work with Ryan Burrett from Alt Objectives to create some visual responses to the world around them using a variety of artmaking techniques.

After a pit stop at McDonalds, students then formed groups to create a 3-dimensional sculpture from sand at Nobby beach. We also walked around the promenade to take photographs of different landscape perspectives, which will form the subject matter for our next body of work.

It was a great day for students to explore their immediate world around them as a source of inspiration for their own artmaking practice.
