Some thoughts about Art

For Australian Art students, year 12 is an important one. We go from exploring our art skills to interpreting ourselves and our worlds through a major artwork. We go from learning about art to learning about our world through art. Our teachers step over to the side-lines a bit and let us take our ideas forward. We start to reach a stage of artistic independence.
It's a stage.
Thinking that at the end of the year, examiners are going to be able to look deep into our work and our development of that work is unsettling and inspiring at the same time!
One of the best things about Year 12 is that you start to realise the power of art.
And I believe it's a power worth taking notice of.
