Levels 7-10

Let’s talk about art! From Sally Gabori’s brightly painted odes to Bentinck Island off the coast of Queensland, to Reko Rennie’s neon-lit evocations of the urban environment, the distinctive work of Indigenous artists across Australia reveals diverse perspectives. Explore the different ways artists across Australia use materials and techniques and express ideas about country and culture.
