About 120 students in Year 11 Visual Arts visited the Sculptureum gardens and galleries in Matakana on the 9th and 10th of March. It was an exciting and inspiring opportunity for the young artists who have just began their portfolio journey for the year. Students were taken through an experience where they were able to view amazing artworks in beautiful garden settings as well as within the indoor gallery context. It was a very enjoyable day that also included a brief painting workshop, which encouraged students to reflect on their inspirations from the trip to produce a small rock or tile painting to bring home. Back in classroom, we’re already seeing students incorporate what they have seen and experienced on the trip in their own artworks!
