Our Elective Art students had the opportunity to enjoy an excursion to the Art Gallery of NSW to listen to three 2015 HSC art students discuss their works which featured in this years Art Express.
Our students were able to gain insight into the processes and experimentation that students go through in order to create a Body of Work. Students were then able to view the variety of works on display. They were also lucky enough this year to view some works from the Sydney Biennale.
Here is what some of our students has to say about the day:
It was very interesting to see the process of the HSE students making their art.
Gideon Cirera
The variety of different approaches taken in the creation of all the artworks exhibited in the Art Express was Amazing.
Jomiko Cabigting
Seeing the different materials and processes used by the HSE students sparked our creativity
Aerianne Mojica
The gallery was very interesting to look at, all the nice and unique artworks that I saw there was a lot of work the students put in.
