Suter Art Gallery

Yesterday we went to the Suter Art Gallery to see their exhibition MALU MINAR (SEA PATTERN )ART OF THE TORRES STRAIT. This exhibition celebrates the energetic work of Torres Strait artists. Each of the artists in Malu Minar have drawn on personal and collective knowledge, the instructions, guidance and lessons taught, instilling in them the strength and importance of their culture. The exhibition features headdresses, masks, dance machines, linocuts and textiles. While at the gallery, we worked in groups to make a mask using ideas from the exhibition. The children thoroughly enjoyed their learning at the Suter.

Folk Dance

During WOW week we learnt some folk dancing. The whole Junior Syndicate got to have a try. Folk dancing made us feel happy and we felt very puffed when we had finished. Look at us dancing.
