Year 8 Collaborative Sculptures - Adelaide Botanic High

Adelaide Botanic High students looked to Kala Lagaw Ya and Wuthathi artist Brian Robinson for their 'Future Looks Bright' project.

The students were asked to tell a story – a story of the future and what it meant to them as a new school. They were given a brief to include botanical forms and the inclusion of a recycled material.

With the use of contrasting colours, collage and laser-cut straw board, they created collaborative works which were then displayed at the end of year arts showcase Catalyst. On the year 7 Welcome day, workshops were derived from this project and the year 7 students created miniature versions, which were later suspended from 2m wide chandeliers in the main atrium.
