A Noosa student art project has ended up in a Nation wide Art Installation on the beach for all to enjoy.
When Noosa Flexible Learning Centre was approached to help in the process they were delighted.
Artists Pam Walpole and Yanni Van Zijl had a fun project whose installation Playtime was chosen to be part of Swell Sculpture Festival at Currumbin Beach this September.
Noosa student Grace, with her computer skills, and manual arts teacher Scott with his great workshop, set up the computer required to talk to the machine that cut out the shapes provided as part of the project.
Thirty-two colourful dogs of all breeds are romping, running, jumping, playing along the beach dunes for the enjoyment of all and Noosa’s local dogs have been the models. They all have names and individual collars so you can choose your favourite. From Josie the hot pink greyhound (Grace’s dog), Marcel the purple French Bulldog, Otis the Labrador, pink Poppy the Poodle, bright blue Harley the hound, lime green Leonardo the pointer – and lots more – they have them all.
This will be the third time Pam and Yanni have been selected to exhibit at Swell, winning the Environmental Award in 2019. This year should delight the crowds with onlookers maybe recognising their pooch among the comical very colourful parade.
