Visual Arts
The students in Grades Prep, One and Two have been exploring NAIDOC Week in Art this week. They have worked on a collaborative mural of ‘Bunjil the Eagle’.
The Wurundjeri people believe an ancestral Wedge-tailed Eagle called ‘Bunjil’ created the land. Bunjil originated from a falling star, and as he fell from the sky, he blew air from his beak to create the earth we live on today. He scratched in the soil with his talons, and the first trees and plants started to grow.
The students in Grades 3-6 explored Aboriginal art symbols to create their own visual narratives.
Our Art Show is on the 6th September 2024. Don’t forget to add this important date to your calendars.
