Creating an Artwork

The Environmental Art Project presented by Mundaring Arts Centre Inc. provides an annual opportunity for primary school children to creatively engage with local and global environmental issues, whilst developing their own positive message about protecting the earth.

The theme of the 2022 Environmental Art Project, Backyard Biodiversity, challenges teachers, students and parents to look closely at nature and discover, observe and monitor the animals that live in our local area.

Have you ever wondered about the animals that live in your neighbourhood? What are they? Where do they come from? Where do they go? What do they need to survive?

The Perth Hills, Swan Valley and surrounding areas are home to a wide variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, amphibians, fish and other organisms. It is easy to miss seeing the animals that live amongst us. They are good at hiding in leaf litter, water or plants. Some are nocturnal, meaning they are active at night. Discover the animals that live in your backyard/school and investigate what they need to survive.
