What is art? This is a question all of us at Springston School are trying to answer, so we have set out on a quest to answer it. To start our quest students had to get involved with art themselves. This meant a few lucky pupils got to go to the art gallery to see the amazing Ron Mueck exhibition.
This was an outstanding opportunity for the students as the exhibition was only to be set up and seen in three cities across the world. The exhibition was a series of very realistic human sculptures hand made by Ron himself. Many of the sculptures were people evolved in Ron’s life like his dad, wife, daughter or friends but some were just big moments in life.
As well as getting to view the great artwork the students even got to create there own facial expressions using clay. All together this was a fantastic opportunity with all of the students enjoying themselves while learning heaps.

Wow, this was a wonderful opportunity! It would have been fun creating facial expressions with clay - did you get any photos of those - I'd love to see them? I'm intending to go along to the exhibition soon, myself!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to commend you on the excellent report you wrote, too - well done girls!

Hey girls - this is brilliant. I take you to an exhibition and you just create the report and get it straight up on the blog. Sorry I couldn't read it when you asked but it is clear, catches the reader and shows the sense of humour of the writers.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you can't be back in my class again?
Carol - we have video of our sculptures being made and the pieces are drying in the staffroom ready for our own great exhibition!
