YEAR 12 PERSPECTIVES 2016 CELEBRATES 25 YEARS
Year 12 Perspectives showcases work by some of the best, brightest and most talented graduating high school artists in Western Australia, and is a barometer of what our youth are thinking and feeling.
The Year 12 Perspectives exhibition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) will celebrate its 25th year, and the show will also highlight alumni who have become professional practitioners in the visual arts, including video interviews with previous finalists across the years.
Some 58 works by 57 students from across WA were selected by this year’s judging panel, comprising Genevie Baker, Coordinator Curriculum K-12, Arts Teaching & Learning Team, Catholic Education; Tarryn Gill, Artist; and Dunja Rmandic, Associate Curator Projects, AGWA.
Works span a variety of subject matter and media, ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture, digital moving images, photography and textiles.
Prominent themes in this year’s display include "social engagement, family and nature" said Dunja Rmandić, AGWA Associate Curator Projects.
