The amazing artistic talents of Kingaroy State High School students were unveiled to the public at the Kingaroy Art Gallery on Friday night.
South Burnett Deputy Mayor Keith Campbell officially opened the exhibition which features almost 200 works from students from Year 8-12.
KSHS art co-ordinator Wendy Corstiaans said all of the works were produced as part of art assignments over the past 12 months.
A selection of students took turns to address the large crowd to explain their artworks.
A special – and very different – entry is an installation by Year 12 student Amie Mason called “Chaos”.
At first glance, the artwork looks like a chaotic mess of plastic piping, but shine a light on it and the shadows reveal “Chaos“.
Amie submitted the work into the Creative Generation art awards for school students run by Education Queensland.
She won the Darling Downs South-West division of the competition against strong opposition.
“Chaos” will now go on show at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane next year.
The Kingaroy State High School artworks will be on display at the Kingaroy Gallery until the end of October.
