FINAL EXHIBITION of ARTWORK: ‘GRATITUDE’ 


Students from each buddy class will be invited to create a final piece of work to submit to an art exhibition on the Theme: Gratitude.  Any medium may be used to allow for creativity, individualism and to portray the message they wish to share with their audience. This could mean for example; painted canvas work, charcoal drawings, print designs, pastel drawings, photography or handmade craft works.

Details of the Exhibition are:

Sunday 28th June: Public Day. Open 11.00am – 5.00pm for parents, families and general public

Monday 29th June: School Day. Open 9.00am – 3.00pm for participating schools in S.A. to attend as a class group (booked time slot required)

Venue: Norwood Town Hall, Don Pyatt Hall; 175 The Parade, Norwood SA 5067

This will be a wonderful opportunity for students to see their art work displayed in an area for public viewing and appreciation. Parents and families will be invited to attend on the Sunday.
