Putt around the art show
ST Patrick’s Primary School will open its doors next Tuesday for an art show with a creative and fun twist.
The art show will feature student artworks of threatened species within Eastern Maar Country on a mini golf course, with each hole representing a different species in the local area.
Art teacher Clare Younis said the course will feature species such as the gang-gang cockatoo, orange-bellied parrot, silver banksia, golden sun moth and more.
“From the growling grass frog to the red-tailed black cockatoo, the course takes players on a journey through sculpted habitats, all handmade by students,” she said.
“It’s fun, it’s creative and it’s carrying a big message – we all have a role to play in caring for country.
“The course, custom made by members of the Timboon Men’s shed, has been generously loaned by the Port Campbell Community Park Committee and the students have added their own artistic magic, turning it into something completely unique.
“Be warned though – there are whispers of feral cats lurking among the fairways.”
The art show will be held at the school on Tuesday, October 14 and will run from 6-8pm.
Ms Younis says anyone interested in creating their own version of the project was welcome to have a chat on the night.
“It’s about learning through doing – and sharing that learning in ways people can connect with,” she said.
“This year’s art show theme is ‘Lakes and Craters Country: Where We Live and Learn’, a celebration of the local landscape and all the life it supports.
“Come along, have a putt, and see how the next generation is using art to speak up for the future of our environment.”
