Welcome to the Art Gallery of Western Australia where we See Things Differently.
We collect artworks that tell stories, teach us about history, and remind us to pay attention to ourselves, our surroundings and each other. In an art gallery the world of weather lives as painted landscapes, drawn storms and portals to unlikely puddles. We control the temperature to keep the artworks cool and the concrete ceiling keeps us dry. Weather is both inside and outside the Gallery; inside and outside our bodies.
Creativity and the arts can calm our storms, or flood us with feelings. This Response Journal was made by AGWA Learning in partnership with ECU School of Education, and is proudly funded by Healthway to communicate the Act-Belong-Commit message - that creative expression, belonging and purpose contribute to our sense of well-being and feeling connected to our world and to each other.
This journal is yours to sketch and scribble all your weathers: thoughts, ideas and feelings.
