Indigenous students at Whittlesea Secondary College have brought to life a bland wall at Whittlesea showgrounds.
Using aerosols, paint pens and acrylic paint, the students spent two days creating a mural that’s rich with local indigenous stories and native wildlife.
Art teacher Sarah Perry said their pictorial story “was about their personal journeys and a reflection of their culture”.
The 16 students were asked to create the mural by Whittlesea Agricultural Society and were assisted by Hans Gregory from Baseline Youth Services.
The students have featured characters and storylines passed down from generations by the Gunditjmara people of western Victoria and the Yorta Yorta people of northern Victoria and southern New South Wales.
