Week 3 - 18th March 2013

In this week we went on an excursion to the Lake Macquarie City ArtGallery.  Though hard to find, the galley was situated next to the water, which was very beautiful.  I kind of wished that we could have had a picnic and done some plein air studies while we were there, but we were there for another purpose.

There we learnt about how the gallery engages with aboriginal communities, through workshops and promoting indigenous artist, which increases the aboriginal cultural awareness.  Afterwards we walked through the gallery looking at artworks made by contemporary indigenous artist who worked through various mediums such as painting, sculpture and photography.
