Exploring Place and Time
Across Term 3, our Year 4s have been connecting their Unit of Inquiry, ‘where we are in place and time’, with their visual arts studies of landscape and the impacts of colonialism.
Students studied Australian artist Dani Mellor Mamu’s technique of using the blue and white of English ceramics as a symbol for colonialism, practised landscape paintings, and learned even more at their recent workshop with the Art Gallery of SA. As their final project of Term, students will collaborate to create a Kaurna shield decorated with native landscapes in blue and white, inspired by Mamu.
