Artistic cultural experience

VIBRANT: Reidy Park Primary School Year 6 students Emma and Cameron with the school’s creative obliteration room, inspired by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

PRIMARY school students in the region are exploring their creative sides through a cultural art project.

Inspired by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and her visionary technique the students are designing an obliteration room.
Kusama has been a creative artist for more than 60 years and has made her mark as a renowned figure in 21st century contemporary art.

As part of an interactive children’s project developed by Kusama, the Reidy Park Primary School students have been invited to learn about the artist by designing their own dynamic piece of artwork.

The project is designed for the room to transform over time with students continuing to add their own dots to the space.

Reidy Park Primary School’s room nine and 12 students have been busy adding to the blank canvas within their classroom for the past few weeks.

The room is set to be featured at the school’s next assembly where students will be invited to add their own colourful dots.

“It has been fun creating the art piece with the stickers,” Year 6 student Emma said.

“I have enjoyed making a creative room that is not to difficult.”

Year 6 student Cameron said he was excited to see what the final product would look like.

“It has been an easy way to create art and my favourite thing has been seeing the different way dots have been added on,” he said.
