The visits provided students with valuable insights into how museums and galleries curate and present artwork. They explored fascinating collections and exhibitions that celebrate creativity, culture, and storytelling, offering opportunities to discover different creative ideas and influences that will inform their own artistic practice.
A key highlight for the students was the chance to view Hokusai’s iconic artwork, The Great Wave, alongside Juned Ismail’s Gilded Veil. These pieces sparked thoughtful discussions among the students regarding artistic approaches, interpretation, meaning, and audience engagement.
This experience is expected to significantly shape the students’ forthcoming 'Awe and Wonder' project as they begin developing ideas and preparing for their own exhibition at Carmel College in January.
It was a fantastic opportunity to experience inspiring artwork first-hand, broaden creative perspectives and gather ideas for the exciting work ahead. Creativity is certainly flowing at Carmel!
