We will start the Term with a look at REALISM and the art of Courbet and Millet as well as current Australian artists Rachel Milne & Richard Claremont. The first week will explore symbol drawing versus observational drawing using oil pastels. Teens will attempt to draw an everyday scene, while K-6 students will attempt their favourite breakfast meal.  

In week 2, it will be a foray into REALISM, LIGHT & MOOD, specifically the art of JMW Turner and JM Whistler. Using soft pastels, students will look at how light and colour can change the mood and feeling of artworks. 
 
Next, it’s all about the art of the IMPRESSIONISTS, looking at how these artists captured light, particularly Claude Monet and Australian artists Authur Streeton and Elioth Gruner. Teens will explore mark making like Monet using either watercolour or acrylics while K-6 students will paint an impressionist inspired watercolour or acrylic winter landscape using a cool colour palette. 
 
Then we move into AUSTRALIAN IMPRESSIONISTS, looking at Tom Roberts and Charles Condor. The Teens will explore traditional oils on canvas in the “9×5” format, while the K-6 kids will create “9×5” Australian inspired landscapes in acrylic on canvas. 

Week 5 will see us look at the POST IMPRESSIONISTS and artists such as Van Gogh, Cezanne and Australia’s Grace Cossington Smith. This week we are going to use pallet knives to create textural mark making, like Van Gogh’s swirls and Cossington Smith’s macro pointillism. 
 
And finally, we will look at FAUVISM and the start of Modernism, where artists like Matisse, Derain, and later Australia’s Ken Done produced bold works of landscapes, figures and still life in “wild” colours and striking brushwork. In this final week, we will use monoprint techniques TWO ways to create bold, expressive marks and bright colour using a still life for inspiration. 

A Term Of Exploration!

We will explore drawing mediums, including graphite and coloured pencils, watercolour, mixed media, collage, acrylics and assemblage.  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 “Realism, Impressionism & Beyond” inspired mini Body of Work masterpiece based on the choice of techniques we looked at and developed over the course of the term!
