Tanya Coventry with Bowen State High School students

Artist Tanya Coventry worked with students from Bowen State High School to create Colour in the Ocean. They thought about the dangers that human rubbish and pollution pose to the ocean’s wildlife. “Colour in the ocean should come from fish, not pollution”.

The fish in this artwork and the materials used to make them make comment on the 2215 types of wildlife in the Pacific Ocean that are threatened or endangered because of human pollution.

How many fish have the students made with the artist? What materials have they used?

What is the name given to a group of fish swimming closely together?
