NGV excursion to Fed square


Last week, many of the students went to the city by train to see the Melbourne NGV art gallery at the Ian Potter centre.
There are so many beautiful old paintings there. We walked through the large galleries to see early Australian work by famous artists.


This is a a marble statue in front of Fred McCubbin's painting of 'The Pioneers'.

Aboriginal dot paintings, inspired by the desert and the great dream time story of the Wanampi tjukurpa.

We visited the Block and the Royal arcades in Melbourne.

Lastly, some of us visited the State library.
