Our Lady of La Vang student - artists shone at the Traces of Us SALA Exhibition. This exhibition showcased the creative capacities of the community. The exhibition was professionally displayed by curator, Gemma Kelsh, in the perfectly lit multi-purpose hall at the Flinders Park School.
Artist in Residence, Bindi Amor, observes the young artists and captures their imagination to create beautiful works of art in the school’s art room or in various locations around the school.
“Painting outdoors alongside the sculpture of George, the orangutan, is a popular spot with the students,” Bindi said.
Principal Stephanie Grant welcomed over 200 parents and guests on Opening Night 26 August. Along with others gathered, Angela Evans, Mayor of the City of Sturt, appreciated the beautiful artwork. They joined in the beautiful spread of refreshments; charcuterie and cheese boards to feast on.
Over 100 beautiful pictures were created for the exhibition by individual students while some were created by groups. A range of medium was used, including acrylic, watercolour, ink, lino print, collage, canvas, cardboard and silk. In addition to the sale of the artwork, crosses were sold. These crosses were made by the Veterans' Shed at Hove and were decorated by staff and students at Our Lady of La Vang.
Some of the works of art were accompanied by transcripts of thoughtful comments and conversations that had taken place during their creation. This reminds us of the important role art creation can play in developing emotional awareness, language skills and aesthetic appreciation.
Congratulations to all the staff and students at Our Lady of La Vang in bringing together this inspirational celebration for the community to share.
