We will start the Term with CONTRAST and how contrast is created in artworks by using dissimilar elements or materials and will create a contrast piece in acrylic and collage. 
 
In week 2, it will be a foray into REPETITION & PATTERN that create formal patterns and informal patterns.  We will look at artists like Warhol and Klimt and create a mixed media patterned tree.  
 
Next, it’s all about MOVEMENT & RHYTHM where art elements are used to create a sense of movement and rhythm in pieces. Here we will look at Hirschfield Mach and current Australian contemporary artist Iidiko Kovacs and will attempt to create a Kovacs inspired piece in acrylics. 
 
Then we move into BALANCE and creating a sense of centeredness or indeed imbalance, depending on the artist’s narrative. We will look at symmetry with oil pastels, watercolour and mixed media. Week 5 will see us look at EMPHASIS where the artist draws the attention of the viewer to an important area in the artwork. We will explore abstraction (using patterns) and stencil making with gesso.  
 
And finally, UNITY, where the artist creates harmony using the elements and principles to complete the vision of their piece. In this final week, we will create abstract mixed media pieces using a variety of materials, including gold leaf, before we head into the last 2 weeks of mini masterpieces and body of work time.  

Then its onto our mini masterpiece body of work for the final two weeks. 

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, printmaking, watercolours, acrylic painting and oil painting.  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.
