The paint has only just dried on Gap Youth Centre’s brand spanking new aerosol art mural.
Guest artist Dash88 has been guiding InCite’s hard working crew of young artists to install the mural over the last two weekends. The crew (aged 14-21) have all done aerosol projects with InCite before on installations at Traegar Park and Milner Road. They’ve been meeting with Dash88 over the phone for last few months to sort out their design for the wall, which this time has a music and natural landscape theme featuring white Ghost Gums and Heavitree Gap in the MacDonnell Ranges.
While Dash88 was here there was also opportunities for young people who are new to the art form to develop their skills. Workshops were run with Gap Youth Centre’s Late Night Program and Central Australian Aboriginal Congress’ After Hours Youth Service. Young people learnt how to sketch up their own designs and how to handle a spray can correctly – which is harder than it seems!
While improving their can technique these guys started brainstorming ideas for when Dash comes back up soon in the July Holidays, when they’ll paint their own large scale mural. Miriam Pickard is currently editing a film she made about the process, so we’ll put up a link to that soon as well.
