Visual Arts Excursion

On Thursday of Week 6 Year 11 and Year 12 Visual Arts students headed out to the Art Gallery of NSW with Ms Capel and Mrs Thompson to view the current exhibits. They started the day in the Naala Badu building by looking at the Ron Mueck exhibition of giant and miniature lifelike sculptures. Students were spooked, unsettled, but also in awe of the sense of realism.

After this we headed into the historic underground tank and looked at the Mike Hewson playground; an immersive experience where audience members are encouraged to play as an artform. Safe to say everyone had too much fun…

Then, we headed to check out Art Express, which is the best HSC Bodies of Works from 2025 selected to be on display. Students were inspired by the range of 2D and 3D artworks, and even got to see a Fort Street selection from last year (Anna Moran).In the afternoon we headed to the Naala Nura building and viewed their permanent collection and other current exhibitions. Both classes left the gallery feeling inspired to continue their own artmaking practice back in the classroom.
