This is being coordinated by members of our City Wide Public Art Roundtable who are also linked strongly to Newmarch Gallery. It has been inspired by the exhibition Boundaries, No Boundaries. This will see the two works created into temporary footpath stickers and installed at a location near the school (if agreed by the school). The selection was made by Leah Grant who will also be participating in InsideOut as a practicing artist.
· Year 6, number 15 "The Flow Of Happiness" by Alessandra Pergoleto and her description of the piece is "This painting represents me because the blue around it is water and the pink is all the things I love, swirled in together.
The yellow and orange and the leaves represent the earth's appearance in water”.
Note from Leah - I selected Alessandra's piece because of her confident, thick brush strokes. This student has created a very balanced composition with pastel blue, bright yellow and vivid orange, thoughtfully filling organic shapes.
A bold pink line wiggles around the page, uniting the piece and leading your eye around the work
· Year 2, number 17 "Flower Land" by Angela Le.
Note from Leah - I selected Angela's piece because of the playful, layered patterns.
The student has experimented with a range of mark making techniques with her brush.
I can see she has used different thicknesses and pressure to create a thin line in some areas, bold thick lines and even splodges of paint in other areas.
This student's work is bursting with energy and displays a fearless creativity that I am inspired by.
We are very excited and proud of Ale and Angela.
Congratulations girls and we look forward to seeing your artwork on the footpath in our neighbourhood.
