Year Nine Visual Art Hunt for Art in the Community

Our Year 9 Visual Art class has just finished experimenting with hand-colouring our Australian Icon etchings. As a culminating activity for the term, on Thursday, 3rd April, we went on a ‘Hunt for Art’ in our community. The journey took us to the Roma Community Arts Centre, where we explored the exhibit on display in the Roma on Bungil Gallery and the Walk of Art. We also had the opportunity to witness U3A artists working in Studio 5. Thank you to the U3A Folk Art group for allowing us to roam around Studio 5. We appreciate how they showed us and explained some of the different mediums and techniques they use to create their art. It was interesting to see the various styles of art, including ‘The Art of Small’ exhibition in the gallery. The variety of paintings and sculptures we discovered around town was eye-opening, from ‘It’s in the Genes’ at Roma Saleyards to the mural and Racehorse and Jockey sculpture at Bassett Park. Thank you to Mr Corkett for driving us on the tour and to Mrs Moloney for organising it.
