Year 12 Perspectives (now referred to as PULSE) was an exhibition that celebrated the truly outstanding contribution young people make to the cultural life of our community in Perth. The show provided audiences with an insight into the ideas and influences that creatively inspired visual arts students in their final year of schooling.

ART ON THE MOVE presented a selection of 33 of the works that were a part of the larger exhibition that was shown at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in March and April, 2005.

The works were predominantly two dimensional with artforms such as painting, printmaking, textiles and digital media represented. The young artists in the exhibition explored universal issues such as the vices of contemporary life, racial issues and issues of sexuality and commercialism, as well as those that more directly concern youth such as body image, and the theme of ‘self’.
