VCE Art students step off campus
On the last day of Term 1, Year 10 Photography and Years 11 and 12 Art Making and Exhibiting students, along with Ms Scott, Mrs Waud and Nadia Mercuri explored the works of Yayoi Kasuma at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).
This was the largest exhibition of Kusama’s work presented in Australia and one of the most comprehensive retrospectives of the artist ever presented globally. Featuring painting, sculpture, collage, fashion, film and installation, the exhibition revealed the astonishing breadth of Kusama’s artmaking, raising both questions and awe from the students as they traversed the many spaces and experiences on offer.
Years 11 and 12 students then attended Top Arts at the Ian Potter Centre, where they undertook a private viewing of the visual diaries and folios of the various works on display in the exhibition of top VCE folios.
The Year 10 students were treated to a self-guided tour of parts of the surrounding gardens and city, including Degraves Street and Hosier Lane, where their artistic and photographic skills enabled them to capture some stunning images with the guidance of Ms Scott.
