The world of imagination and creativity devised by the talented students of Avenel Primary School was unveiled last month in Jubilee Park at the Artbox Gallery.
The exhibition will run until Tuesday, November 25.
The vibrant display is a testament to the creativity, passion and artistic flair of the region’s youngest artists.
Visible 24 hours a day through the gallery’s glass windows, the exhibition showcases the electric blend of 3D sculptures, including whimsical birds, and striking 2D artworks created using a variety of mediums.
Strathbogie Shire Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy praised the students and their dedicated teacher.
“This exhibition is a wonderful showcase of the imagination and talent of our local young artists,” Cr Ewart-Kennedy said.
“It’s inspiring to see how Avenel Primary School nurtures creativity and self-expression in such a joyful way.
“Congratulations to all the students and to their teacher, Mel Kecskes, for bringing this colourful vision to life.”
A number of the student artists have shared what their art means to them, including Isla in Year 6.
“Art is for everyone and that is why I love it,” she said.
“Our teacher allows us to express ourselves ... There is no right or wrong way and it is always a positive experience.”
Fletcher in Year 5 said, “I love that Mrs K sets expectations in art but it is flexible as to how far we want to extend ourselves. We learn a variety of techniques and use many mediums like clay and paint and fabrics.”
Year 4 Tilda said, “I love doing art because it calms me down and makes me feel happy. I love sketching and painting.”
Year 4 Audrey added, “I love art because my mum is an artist and I want to pick up from where she left off. My favourite is painting and drawing, but I love all aspects.”
This exhibition is a must-see for anyone who appreciates the power of creativity and the joy of artistic expression.
