For many years now I have been asked to conduct ‘in depth’ classes in Aboriginal Art. Series three follows the very successful Series One and Two held in recent times. So here is your opportunity. Over three sessions we will discuss significant aspects of the history, development and current state of Aboriginal Art in Australia. Included will be input from recognised experts in the field. Rare film will be shown and discussed and students will be expected to participate in ‘tutorial’ situations and some writing and research  over and before the seven day period of classes. $385.00pp for the three sessions. (light lunch included each day). The group will be limited to twelve people. Please book early. Classes will be held at the Mary Place Gallery, 12 Mary Place Paddington (classes held in conjuncton with the exhibition “Desert Dreaming”
