A MOTHER and son team have combined their talents in arts education and scientific research to give local children a unique, creative experience. Mobile Art and Craft (MACC) specialist primary art teacher Jo Briscomb has been working with her son Angus Henderson - one of 20 scientists on board the CSIRO’s national scientific research ship the RV Investigator, currently off the coast of Antarctica - on an innovative project called “Angus goes South for Science” which explores and celebrates the unique connections between art and science. Students have been meeting with Angus via the internet to ask questions and share their creative interpretations of the marine world in the Southern Ocean. Jo said her son is fulfilling his childhood dream of travelling to Antarctica to observe the environment and its wildlife. She said Angus, who grew up in Wangaratta, has been on board the RV Investigator since January and is part of a team collecting data and conducting research in the Southern Ocean.
