This term we start with Coloured Pencil Drawings based on the works of the Belgian artist Rene Magritte. We then step into three-dimensional Clay Sculptures, looking at the works of Spanish artists Salvador Dali, the famous surrealist. 

Then its soft pastels and the realist views of spheres in outback Australia created by artist James Gleeson with a focus on value and form. Then we dive into a world of Marc Chagall on we will experiment with wax and watercolours (Teens will experiment with impasto and sgraffito). 

We round out the term with a look at some Australian contemporary artist Abdul Abdullah and his amazing realist landscapes with caricature figures. Lastly, we look at surrealism through the eyes of Spanish artist Joan Miro where we will look at collage and mixed media.  

A TERM OF EXPLORATION!

We will explore drawing mediums, including coloured pencils, oil pastels, watercolours, mixed media, collage, clay sculpture and soft pastels.  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.
