Our Year 3 classes have visited the Gentle Protagonist: Art of Michael McWilliam’s, exhibition at QVMAG Inveresk. McWilliam’s paintings depict wildlife, domestic & introduced species in Tasmanian bushlands, farmyards & gardens. His works stimulate thinking around climate change, impacts of introduced species and extinction.
This relates directly to the Year 3 inquiry focus on lifecycles of creatures in Tasmania. The purpose of the visit was also to inspire ideas, stimulate thinking and to provide a rich learning experience that included opportunities to reflect on and respond to the artworks. The experience will lead into creating multi layered artworks using drawing and collage mediums.
