Year 9 Excursion to SH Ervin Gallery

We were thrilled to be able to take Year 9 to visit the exhibition The Natural World last week. Students have been studying sculpture for the past few weeks and it was exciting to be able to view the works of 2 dynamic female practitioners working in bronze welding and contemporary ceramic practice. Bronwyn Oliver and Juz Kitson’s work is connected by their concern for organic forms and the environment.

Students said:

It was great to be able to finally go out and experience the impact of artworks in person.
Zoe Crisafulli

The exhibition was really impressive. I loved the artworks detail and intricate elements that we could examine.
Ottilie Ewington

They were very beautiful in their abstraction.
Ebony Colliss

I really like the shadows that Bronwyn Oliver’s work cast against the gallery wall.
Julia Piazza

Juz Kitson’s work was intriguing and beautiful in real life. I had studied her work for my recent assignment. Being able to see it in real life helped confirm what I had explored and described in my essay.
