CLOSING THIS WEEKEND!

'A second glance: responding to portraits in the MGA Collection. A Melbourne Girls Grammar project' saw 51 year 10 & 11 students visit Monash Gallery of Art to look at a selection of portraits from the MGA collection.

The works were selected by Melbourne Girls Grammer School's artist-in-residence Georgia Metaxas (whose work is also represented in the MGA collection), the portraits covered a wide-range of portrait types including the self-portrait, candid portraiture and environmental portraiture.

The assignment was set: the students were to select one image the had seen from the collection and respond to it with a portrait of their own.

Come along and see the wonderful results!

MAPh acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
