Welcome to Term 4 2024 – All About Still Life
In this 8-week course, students will develop and further understand the creative process and progress their art technique in a fun and supportive environment.
This term, you will learn about Still Life and how selected artists produced their artworks and how contemporary artists produce their works today.
We start with collage & mixed media based on the works of the French artist Paul Cezanne. We then step into printmaking taking in the works of the Japanese woodblock artists and Australian artist, Cressida Campbell.
Then it’s painting focus with a look at Baroque art and contemporary baroque art. We then look at observational drawing and watercolours to create beautiful leaves inspired by our very own tutor and award winning artist, Rachel Bolton.
We round out the term with an Australian contemporary focus looking at Jonathan Dalton and his hyper realism where will use acrylic painting with a focus on blending, tone and form. The final week looks at the interesting compositions of artist Jude Rae. Here we will use oils and explore the “fat over lean” technique.
We will explore drawing mediums, including collage, Mixed media, printmaking, watercolours, acrylic painting and oil painting. Other techniques will include drawing, as drawing underpins most of our process art techniques.
