25.01.2022 We just want to take a moment to thank Tash Carter for her amazing artwork which tells the story of Djandak in the Goldfields. "The image is a silhouette of Lea...nganook (Mount Alexander), a significant place for Djaara people to come together for cultural events and meet, and also a place affected by gold mining, as is common all over Djandak."

10.01.2022 CREATIVE CHALLENGE #14: Negative Space Your challenge is to draw the space around an object, the negative space, rather than the object itself. If you keep it simple and flat looking you will create quite a graphic result, adding detail will give it depth, try it both ways. Focus on what you are drawing as well as your artwork. Have fun! #CreativeChallenge #CentralGoldfieldsArtGallery #SchoolHolidayActivity #SchoolHolidayArtActivity
