On Wednesday 18 May, the Year 11 and 12 Visual Arts students went on excursion with Ms Burke, Ms Shaw and myself. We caught the train to the city centre where we went to the Art Gallery of WA and enjoyed a hands on sculpture activity. It was a lot more difficult than we anticipated to create objects from bundles of straw and wool! Next we viewed the 2021 Perspectives exhibition, blown away by the high standard of the top works of last year’s graduating ATAR Visual Arts students. After this, we visited PICA (Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts), where we saw the Hatched exhibition, which showcases Visual Arts tertiary graduates from around Australia. We had lunch in the city then headed back to Joondalup, inspired by the artworks we had seen.
