On Wednesday 27^th March, two of our Year 9 classes undertook an excursion to the city as part of their Art studies for the semester. The two classes began their morning at the Art Gallery of South Australia, where they viewed exhibits and artworks from talented artists around the world, including works from Ben Quilty – an Australian Contemporary Artist. Next, students visited the South Australian Museum, where they were able to view Ancient Egyptian Art work, something they were trying to recreate in their first unit for the semester. Here, students were also tasked with completing 3, 5 minute sketches, to help refine their sketching capabilities.
