Part 2 ~ GOMA

To continue on from Part 1 ~ Hello Korea!

On July 10 we also visited GOMA  (Gallery of Modern Art)

at South Brisbane

As part of 'Harvest' exhibition we saw

Fallen Fruit of Brisbane: Pineapple Express! 2014

My Auntie used to work at The Big Pineapple

I remember visiting with my family when I was little

How cute are all the pineapples?

Other art pieces we saw. . .

Plastic inflatable balls artistically covered with black cord

and attached to the walls and floor

It was very cool

There were 4 balls in this hallway

 Made from Corned Beef tin cans

There were 2 long wood panels with various wording painted on them

Two of our children checking out the 'Supermarket' 

 At a distance we thought there was a spiral of LED lights

At closer inspection it was cutlery and dried chillies 

It was Beautiful

Still life: Coconut and other things 2009

by Sirous Shaghaghi, Iran

This was a very large, realistic painting

It was Stunning!

Next we saw. . .

Jemima Wynan: Pattern Bandits 

in the Children's Art Centre

 Above the 'Kaleidoscopic Tessellations'

I love the unique lighting!

This is 'Harlequin Hallway'

an interactive multimedia experience 

 Here I am

You can play Harlequin Hallway online

We started getting hungry and walked over the bridge to the city

One of the beautiful gardens in the Queen St Mall

Does anyone know what the white flowering plant is?

It is pretty!

On the walk to our favourite Korean restaurant

I love the wave pattern on the building

Galbijim

A spicy beef soup with mushrooms, carrot, potatoes

and sweet potato noodles served with rice

A delicious meal to warm the soul on a cold, windy day  

Fun in a box

School holidays begin at the end of this week

I thought this post may give you an idea of a fun activity for the holidays

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A few weeks ago we purchased a box of Crayola chalk 

for our children from the local supermarket

It was only $5 for a box of 52 sticks. Great value!

After our children finished their homework 

It was time to get creative

Each of our 3 children have their own style of drawing

They were busy creating their pieces of art for an hour

We left their masterpieces to look at each time we went in the backyard

A few days later it rained and their artwork washed away

No need to worry about it not coming off

We'll be setting up the jumping castle during the holidays 

Our children have been itching to use it as we've had rain in recent weeks 

Do you have any suggestions for fun activities to do during school holidays?
