Explore, create and bring new worlds to life with Melbourne-based artists Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison in an immersive gallery day for high-ability learners.

Spend the morning with NGV Educators analysing diverse representations of the Australian environment, from historical and contemporary landscapes to works of art and design that communicate ideas about place. Students will engage closely with selected artworks, building observational skills through focused sketching and drawing.

In the afternoon, students work with Gracia and Louise who are celebrated for their richly layered paper works. Students will assemble expressive works that celebrate the diversity, fragility and wonder of the natural world. Guided by the artists, they will explore scale, composition and imagery to create dynamic collaged environments inspired by flora and fauna.

About the artists:
Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison are a collaborative duo based in Melbourne, Australia. They have been working together since 1999, creating a diverse range of artworks that often address themes of conservation and biodiversity. Their work includes artists’ books, zines, collages, stories, prints, and drawings. They are also wildlife carers, fostering and caring for various species, including grey-headed flying foxes and ringtail possums. Their collaborative approach allows them to bring different skills and interests together, creating unique and impactful works.
