, Footscray, is looking to nature for creative inspiration.
Students have been working with staff from the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria on a biomimicry unit and referencing organic forms to design an art installation for the school. Inspired by the three pillars of community, faith and growth, students have sketched and sculpted a variety of shapes while learning about the natural world. The school will begin working on the sculpture in 2019.
‘This has been a way for our students to see nature differently, instead of just focusing on materials’, said school principal Gemma Goodyear. ‘It’s a way our students can design a sculpture that represents who we are as a school.’
The biomimicry unit at the Royal Botanic Gardens is currently being developed for secondary schools.
