Welcome to Term 1 2025 - Art Through The Ages
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 Art Through The Ages and how selected artists historically produced their artworks and how contemporary artists produce their works today.
This term we start with prehistoric art dabbling in salt and watercolour techniques. Then, we move into the Renaissance period with a focus on drawing in charcoal inspired Da Vinci and one of his most notable works, the Mona Lisa.
We then move into the Romantic period, focusing on watercolour mixed media collage and the works of Casper David Friedrich. We then look at the Post Impressionist period and Van Gogh’s sunflowers body of work. We will be working in oils.
We round out the term looking at Indian Art, investigating monoprint making of the Taj Mahal, followed by a review of Columbian born Australian artist, Maria Fernanda Cardoso, and her amazing macro photography and sculpture. Then its onto our mini masterpiece body of work for the final two weeks.
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. We will also explore a variety of subject matters related to portraiture, landscapes, animals, still life, urban landscapes and the human figure.
