Limbic: We are in the world
Image making can be a powerful way to engage with the world and consider one’s place in the world. Still and moving images are created to explore social issues and commentary.

Activities for Limbic: We are in the world
Collection Connection (1 hour)
Participants explore and analyse artworks by Izabela Pluta, Rosemary Laing, and Camille Serisier and the social commentary expressed through their work and how photography is presented in the expanded field of art and diverse visions of the world.
The Natural (2 hours)
Participants will explore the creek and learn about some of the endangered species that share this location with humans. Participants will explore ways in which to move through the landscape with a light touch and capture photographic images of the micro, focusing on textures and lines in nature.
The Figure and Environment (3 hours)
Participants collaborate in groups to take images or video of distortion and exaggeration using the human body in the environment. Participants experiment with props such as lens balls, mirrors, and prisms to develop the concept of expressive images as well as drama and narrative. Participants may choose to bring pre-prepared objects or imagery with symbolic or other meanings to be incorporated as part of an installation.
All for One (3 hours)
Develop a final work, refining the intention and expressive content using techniques such as digital imaging, collage and sound recordings.
Extension activities for Limbic: We are in the world
Designed to deepen the exploration into the theme and completed in the groups own time.
The Natural: participants are encouraged to print images that captured lines in the landscape. Working together as a group connect the individual images to create a large installation.
