Welcome to Term 3 2025 – The Art Principles

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.

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. 

 
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.

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.  

 
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 have a drawing focus as we look at EMPHASIS where the artist draws the attention of the viewer to an important area in the artwork. 

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.  

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.  

The first 6 weeks is spent learning various techniques while in the last few weeks, students develop their own Elements of Art inspired masterpiece based on art and the techniques that we have looked at over the course of the term.
