GREENMACHINES a TSAH sculpture workshopand exhibition of sculptures by year 9 and 10 school students at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
Over the course of an intensive workshop week at the Tasmanian School of Art (TSAH), each team of 3-5 school students from across 16 state and private schools, worked collaboratively to develop sculptures under the instruction of John Vella (Head of Sculpture), technicians, Ian Munday and Stuart Houghton and a team of TSAH student volunteers.
The sculptures were exhibited at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) in response to the 2009 City of Hobart Art Prize theme (sculpture).
GREENMACHINES is not a prize, or a competition, as everyone; schools, staff and students, will win’through the experience.
A full colour catalogue is currently being produced and will be distributed as a future learning aid.
GREENMACHINES is the inaugural ART SUPPORT initiative of the Department of Education, Tasmanian Catholic Education Office, Hobart City Council, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and the Tasmanian School of Art.

GREENMACHINES began with a desire to stimulate increased dialogue between tertiary institutions and high schools. In addition, GREENMACHINES was geared to introducing a broad range of artistic media and disciplines to 9 and 10 students.
Core to this initiative was the attempt to inspire and challenge talented students (each school was requested to nominate 3-5 students selected by their teachers) and give them the opportunity to work with Tasmanian School of Art staff and exhibit their work at the TMAG.

 

*SUP-PORT: Schools Universities and Professionals creating a new place for learning together. Programs are designed to bring practising artists/professionals, university lecturers and school students / staff together as a way of stimulating a new ways of learning.
