Wanderers, The ( Study Guide)

DESCRIPTION

Synopsis This 6 x 10 minute documentary series explores Art as Adventure. The Wanderers profiles six of Australia’s most exciting street artists as they take their work on the road to unexpected and unusual parts of Australia – discovering the influence of a new environment on their individual artistic styles. From the Central Highlands of Tasmania to a farming town in regional NSW, a remote community in the Northern Territory to the islands in the Pacific, The Wanderers celebrates the amazing diversity of people and places found in Australia. Along with a huge range of locations, each of the six artists featured in The Wanderers takes on a unique personal challenge.
