Year 8 Visual Arts Excursion – Ngununggula Regional Gallery

We are thrilled to share the highlights from the recent Year 8 Visual Arts Excursion/Incursion to the Ngununggula Regional Gallery in the Southern Highlands. The day was filled with creativity, learning, and inspiration, making it a memorable experience for all involved.

On Tuesday, 13th of May, our Year 8 students embarked on a journey to explore the world of visual arts. The day began with a visit to the Ngununggula Regional Gallery, where students participated in engaging workshops that aligned with our school curriculum outcomes. These workshops provided students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in artmaking, using diverse and relevant sources of ideas, concepts, and subject matter.

After the gallery visit, students returned to Oxley College for a 2-hour artist workshop with Caroline Zilinsky. Caroline’s expertise and passion for art inspired our students to push their creative boundaries and explore new techniques. The workshop was a fantastic opportunity for students to interact with a professional artist and gain valuable insights into the world of visual arts. The students thoroughly enjoyed the day, expressing their excitement and appreciation for the hands-on learning experiences.

Many students highlighted the workshops at Ngununggula and the artist session with Caroline Zilinsky as the most inspiring parts of the day. The excursion not only enhanced their understanding of visual arts but also fostered a deeper connection to the world around them.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the staff and parents for their support in making this day possible. Your involvement and encouragement are invaluable to our students’ educational journey.
