Bring your class to experience Coral Chronicles and explore the use of marine debris in artworks and exhibitions and reflect on the amazing biodiversity and plight of the Great Barrier Reef.

Included in this program is a facilitated weaving workshop with reclaimed materials for students to create a small woven stingray to take home with them. Students may also choose to contribute their woven stingray to the collaborative community artwork.

This workshop is designed to support in-classroom conversations about the overlap between traditional and contemporary artforms, reflections on artistic vision and communication, and the use of social and scientific stimulus to develop artworks and convey meaning.

Suitable for High School students.
