Year 8/9 Art students have been creating pots inspired by the Hermannsburg Potters, a collective of Western Arrarnta artists from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) in Central Australia. Their distinctive ceramic works celebrate connections to Country, culture and community through vibrant colours and storytelling. Students have been exploring these ideas in their own ceramic designs, with one student also having the opportunity to experience the artists’ original works first hand at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane. This connection between classroom learning and real artworks has helped bring the artists’ practice to life and inspire students’ own creative journeys.
