THE STUDIO: EARLY YEARS, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Presented by The James and Diana Ramsay Foundation
Following a visit to the exhibition, students respond to selected works of art through the strands of ‘Responding’ and ‘Making’.
During TARNANTHI the Studio is transformed into a Bush Footy carnival inspired by the work of Utopia artists Dinni Kunoth Kemarre and Josie Kunoth Petyarre.
Students get a run on the footy field, and add to the sport spectacle by making their own footballer or fan in mixed-media sculpture. It’s game on!
