Art students from years 10 and 11 at Burdekin Catholic High School took to Lloyd Mann Park in Home Hill last week to study the installations making up this year’s Ephemera.
The students considered the contemporary contexts of each piece, the intention of each artist, media, techniques, processes and how they are displayed, all of which are studied in their Visual Art class.
“We have an exam coming up and we have to learn how to deconstruct what the artist is talking about in their art,” said year 10 student Mikkena Murray.
“We have to learn how to write that down and what context the art was made in; everyone’s got their own types of art forms.”
Visual Art Teacher Jeananne Ellis said students are analysing artists and their artworks in preparation for creating their own bodies of work in year 11.
“The works exhibited in the ephemera are contemporary works based on the perspectives of artists in Queensland, just like the students,” Ms Ellis said.
“The diversity shown in this exhibition will enable them to broaden their perspective about an artist's intention, contexts, and location of artworks when being displayed or exhibited and the audience's reaction.”
Students were also tasked with photographing two artworks that inspired them before considering how they will display their own resolved artworks.
Neenah Ivory highlighted Uli Liessmann’s ‘Peace’ as a favourite.
“He looks really cool and he’s got lots of geometric shapes that I really like,” she said.
“It’s very inspirational.”
