Items in our Virtual Museum recently received some Pop Art treatment by the Room One students at Perenjori Primary School. As part of their art studies, students selected images from our virtual exhibitions and gave them a whole new look by modifying them with the Photo Funia app.
To quote their teacher Miss Herbert: "Your virtual exhibitions are just like an online gallery space, so the kids selected the image that caught their eye the most, like what occurs when visiting a physical museum, and then they changed the image to become a work of Pop Art. The class will be repeating the process later in the year when they visit the local museum in Perenjori and digitally photograph items on display that catch their eye."
Below are the students' creations along with a short line on why they chose that particular image. Big thanks to the students at Perenjori for sharing their creations and to Alex White who helped get them to us by email.
