DRAWING WEEK Cockatoo Island 2008

For Drawing Week 2008 (courtesy of the Harbour Trust) two hundred 2nd and 3rd year students (and 10 staff each day), had access to the buildings and grounds of historic Cockatoo Island, a working shipyard on Sydney Harbour as recently as 1992 but with a history that goes back to use by convict labourers and more distantly to aboriginal fishing grounds pre European settlement.

A selection of drawings from Cockatoo Island was exhibited in the NAS Project Space, concluding and celebrating the week's experience. Congratulations to all the students for an exciting and productive week.
