For the last few weeks of this term, and into next term, Year 7 students are visiting the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) to have a close encounter with one of the contemporary art world's most famous works; 'The Weeping Woman' by Picasso. They will also discover a few details of other works in the gallery.

Reflection by some of the students:

NGV Excursion
On the 17th of September, Ms. Petruccelli’s 7 Avoca class visited the National Gallery of Victoria. In visual arts this term we have studied Picasso’s famous painting ‘The Weeping Woman’. We were thrilled to finally view this painting in person. We also viewed ‘The Banquet of Cleopatra’, and an assortment of interesting and creative sculptures. Overall, we had a marvellous time exploring the NGV, and have learnt a lot through this experience.

‘I really liked seeing the old art and how they interpreted different things in ancient times.’ - Luka

‘We enjoyed our trip to the Art Gallery because of all the sculptures and paintings we saw, but we didn’t get to see as much as we wanted to because we were short on time, other than that it was fun!’
-Vincent & Jason
