On Wednesday, November 10th, the year 9 and 10 art classes were given the opportunity to attend the Tarnanhi art exhibition in Adelaide. The exhibit was highly educational and engaging for many. Arriving around midday with a guided tour commencing within a half-an-hour of arrival, students chilled out on the greenery of The Adelaide University campus. When the tour began, students were segregated into groups and allocated a personal tour guide. Throughout the tour, students were educated on famous indigenous artworks and artists, learning about their symbolism and historical background. Enumerated below are comments from students who attended the exhibition highlighting their favourite parts:
Jayden- Viewing a variety of indigenous artworks and learning about their importance was my favourite part of the day. The installation art of the Riverland in Tasmania would have to be the most intriguing piece. Thank you, Miss McAllister, for providing this amazing opportunity to see an art exhibition; it was a divine experience, opening my eyes.
Hugh- The cars were the most eye-catching artwork within the exhibition.
Chloe- Going to the art exhibition in Adelaide was an incredible experience; my favourite art piece was an installation showed. It had a shadow created by a chair and pieces of paper. Thank you to all the teachers who assisted on the day and thank you Miss McAllister for organising the day.
Evident by the comments above, the students relished the exhibition and learnt many things. We extend our merits to staff who attended and Hanley’s bus service for providing transportation.
