The Dromkeen Collection Art Gallery is a beautiful colonial homestead at Riddells Creek, Victoria. The Gallery houses the Dromkeen Children's Literature Collection, a unique ...
collection of original illustrations, artwork and manuscripts from Australian children's literature, particularly picture books. The Collection includes not only finished illustrations and artwork, but also preliminary artworks such as sketches, storyboards and dummy books revealing the creative processes behind book production.

In Feb Dromkeen have an annual event where many book Illustrators meet for lunch. My daughter Amba McKee was commissioned to produce a still life Installation performance depicting a page from a story book, The Man from Iron Bark. The installation consisted of three adults and two children. Professional Dancers, Kelly, Micheal Cop and Amba, Teachers from Love to Dance School of Ballet and two children form the local area created a series of movements that changed without being noticed by the viewers. The Installation appeared to be static. The colours of the costumes and the beautiful surroundings added to a perfect rendition.
Dromkeen provides a great place for children and adults to see original artworks design for children and how the artist's develop their work. Many students find it hard to understand the design process that artist's need to come up with a wonderful images that express the stories.
This is a great excursion for art students.
I will add a photo soon.
