We will start the Term with CONTRAST and how contrast is created in artworks by using dissimilar elements or materials using watercolours and oil pastels. Teens will create a contrast play 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 collage, while teens will 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 to create a work inspired by moving fish, while the teens will attempt a Kovacs inspired piece. 
 
Then we move into BALANCE and creating a sense of centeredness or indeed imbalance, depending on the artist’s narrative. We will explore soft pastels and collage while teens 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. This will have a drawing focus while the teens will explore abstraction and stencil making.  
 
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 before we head into the last 2 weeks of mini masterpieces and body of work time.

A Term Of Exploration!

We will explore drawing mediums, including graphite and coloured pencils, watercolours, mixed media, collage and soft pastels, acrylics and stencils.  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.  

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. 

Create a Mini 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 “Principles of Art” inspired mini Body of Work masterpiece based on the choice of techniques we looked at and developed over the course of the term!
