Our exhibition demonstrated artwork created by our junior students in their Body as Art course this year.

In this course students learn about our bodies through a Science lens, and then interpret their knowledge through creative expression. 

Thank you to parents who were able to join us for the exhibition. Enjoy the photos and a few comments from students about their work below.

My artwork is about the Mental Health. Inspired by knowledge gained on the brain and its function, the art work provides an opportunity to address and highlight the important connection between how the body, mind and environment intersect to impact overall wellbeing.

My representation shows that the ears, eyes and the brain are a team which allows us to know about the world around us. This team keeps us connected to our friends and the world around us. Images seen and sounds heard need to go to the brain before they can be understood. The art work uses fungi rhizoids to highlight the connection between eye, ear, and the brain.

This art piece is inspired by the fungi. Each part of the fungus shows unconditional love of a mother.

We were learning about human parts in our bodies. My art piece represents two of our senses - touch with the hand holding the brain, and see with the eyes around the brain. The information that our hands and eyes collect from touching and seeing objects are sent to our brains. There is a missing piece of the brain that shows blood and pieces of the brain spilling out to represent what the inside of a brain looks like. What makes the eye and brain so interesting is that the optic nerve is like an internet cable. It runs from the eye to the brain and sends information from what the eye has seen, so that our brain can make a picture. The hand is holding the brain because it is also an important part of the body. It can feel, hold and lift things, all while sending information to the brain telling it what it feels like.
