Youth Week Mural Workshop at Braidwood Central School

Written By BOHIE

Facilitated by the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, Braidwood Central School celebrated “Youth Week” 2019 with a 100 student strong 3 hour workshop.

We cut up 26 meters of ply into meter long boards, with a playful, abstract artwork outline transferred on and a “colour by numbers” method to assist the children in executing the painting process.

100 students were roughly split into groups of 30, then given one hour with a brush and a colour in groups of 4 to each board.
The end result was a fun and playful afternoon with a 26 meter long mural to show for it!!

Extra thanks to art teacher Kelly Bowman for facilitating the event with her year 12 students on stand by to help tidy up some of the edges.

BOHIE

Based in Braidwood, NSW, BOHIE creates art, illustration, public space murals, and creative workshopping experiences that explore wonder and connection to each other and to the natural world.

She works alongside educational institutions, government agencies, community focus groups and stewards of the natural world to design change-making campaigns for each creative project. Bohie utilises a research-based methodology to find inspiration for her artworks, resulting in 2D images which are laden with deeper stories and symbolic meaning.

This narrative driven conceptual development injects her unique authenticity and grass-roots integrity into the public arena, which she sees as a conscious challenge to public advertising. In a time of rapid change, extreme instability and a globally recognised feeling of imminent threat, Bohie’s art provides messages of hope and empowerment for a changed future.
