Students commenced their Year 12 Art Course by attending Day 1 of the annual Authentic Art Experience in Brisbane on Tuesday 10 October.

Beginning at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, they toured the 'sis' Pacific Art exhibition that explores three decades of art making from a sisterhood of artists across Oceania. They viewed the 'Gone Fishing' exhibition and participated in an immersive art experience by Natalya Hughes.

Their artistic adventures continued at the Queensland Art Gallery, where students saw the 'Living Patterns' exhibition focused on Abstraction in Art.

Next, at the Brisbane Powerhouse, they admired historical architecture and saw the Brisbane Portrait Prize Competition.

They finished the day by drawing and reflecting on what they had seen, sitting amongst the inflatable sculptures that have been installed for Night Feast!
