Moruya Public School – I Am, We Are
Moruya Public School is located on the South Coast on traditional Brinja-Yuin Country.
Students at Moruya Public School in Gungara class collaborated to create a dynamic collage. The subject matter of this work highlights each student's individual interests, expressed through a mixed media format.
Students utilised paint, pencil and digital drawings to create personalised works, which were then photographed, printed and blended into a collage. The blending of these artworks symbolises how the strength of a student's individuality is complemented and enhanced by working with others.
