The concept
drawings that have been developed for the project evoke a sense
of journey around the Australian coastline.
Representing
changes in the marine environment by the use of background line
and colour, this journey will represent the range of environments
and living things that encountered around the coast.
Lines representing
the stormy southern oceans to the calmer tropical water will hold
the mural together as will depictions of the changing nature of
bottom of the sea from kelp forests in the south to the tropical
reefs of the north.
Superimposed
on the background will be work developed by students in primary,
secondary, and senior secondary art classes that represent examples
of the large and small animals and plants that make up and represent
local biodiversity.
The project
is one that needs a major public venue for to realise its cultural
and educational potential.
