We will start the Term with a look at INDIGENOUS artist Zaachariaha Fielding and his story telling through symbols and songs. We will examine his contemporary art practice, his bold use of colour and create our own stories, symbols and words to create meaning using acrylics and mixed media.  

In week 2, it will be a foray into STILL LIFE looking at the works of Jeremy Eden and his contemporary take on the vanitas and will explore working in value and glazing techniques in acrylic & oil with realism in mind. 
 
Next, it’s all about ABSTRACTION where art elements such as colour and texture work together to create magic. Here we will look at Sulman Finalist Gemma Smith to create a work inspired by the use of recycled fabrics and paint. 
 
Then we move into FIGURTATIVE ART and will attempt a portrait using only fingers inspired by the Archibald Finalist and People’s Choice Winner for 2025, Loribelle Spirovski.  

Week 5 will see us look at the SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY and artist Ramesh Mario Nirthiyendran where we will create relief style portraits in mixed media of our alter egos.  
 
And finally, we will look at INCLUSIVE ART, where artists with disabilities find their voice through art making. In this final week, we will create two to three A5 size works of the same subject matter in different media inspired by the Incognito Art Show, which raises funds for art studios like Studio A.   

The final two weeks are spent applying all of the term’s learnings into our own mini masterpieces and body of work time; just like a real life artist! 

A Term of Exploration

Our process based art studio teaching is founded in the Great Art Movements, and each week we explore a different era of Art History and Fine Art Techniques!

We will explore drawing mediums together with collage, mixed media, watercolours, acrylic painting and relief sculpture.  Other techniques will include drawing, as drawing underpins most of our process art techniques. We will also explore a variety of subject matters related to portraiture, landscapes, animals, still life, urban landscapes and the human figure.  

Create a Body of Work Masterpiece to take home!

The first 6 weeks are spent learning various techniques while in the last few weeks, you develop your own The Art Principles inspired mini Body Of Work masterpiece based on the choice of techniques we looked at and developed over the course of the term!

All materials, tuition and light refreshments are included.
