Biophilia: Relationships to Place
July 2 – November 6 2022
In Bundanon’s Parallel Landscapes, three exhibitions bring together different ways of seeing the natural world, ranging from the historical to the contemporary.
Activities for Museum Season: Parallel Landscapes
Spark Ideas (1 hour)
Explore and critically analyse key works in the Art Museum season Parallel Landscapes that consider cultural and temporal responses to geographical and inner landscapes. The art analysis points outlined here underscore the learning experience design and will be used in the participants’ artistic responses.
Interpreting Landscapes (2 hours)
Participants explore the natural environment of Bundanon, through internal and external stimuli that represent a personal response to landscapes. Participants will then use a variety of mark making techniques to layer the surface of their work using a variety of materials to create impressions, details and sense of self in landscapes.
Negotiating Landscapes (3 hours)
Participants are encouraged to work in collaboration to explore intersections with the environment, discovering harmony and or tensions between natural, introduced, or artificial objects or elements within the surrounding area of Bundanon. Participants will use paper cuts and negotiation with each other to create images that use simplified symbols and shapes as well as text to create their shared understanding of the ‘landscape’
Traversing Our Landscapes (3 hours)
Participants are provided time and the opportunity to explore their own personal connection to the rest of the natural world through a series of artefact collection and recording through photography, audio recording, video, drawing and written words, these artifacts are then recreated and expression through the use of colour and gesture to create on final artwork using various materials including paint, pastel and oil pastel.
