Stage 5 Drawing Elective
Students have recently been using their tonal skills to complete a still life study. We have moved on to drawing environments using the correct perspective to achieve depth as well as applying tone to create the illusion of 3 Dimensions in an artwork.
Year 11 Visual Arts
Students are currently working through further experimentations of media and material processes, through drawing, painting and now sculpture. (See image below). The class has also begun the process of Artist Case Studies research which will inform their own art making practice, knowledge and ability to successfully answer Visual Art exams.
(Year 11 Students may consider this HSC STUDIO INTENSIVE PROGRAM at the NATIONAL ART SCHOOL in Sydney: https://nas.edu.au/education-outreach/hsc-program/).
Year 12 Visual Arts
Year 12 students are busily developing their Bodies of Work now that their concepts have been decided. Sarah Bradley for example has begun a series of paintings for her expressive form submission. (See Image below). The practical due date is still a way off, but will as always loom all too soon. In the meantime Year 12 continue to work with focus in the studio and refine their art theory skills for the HSC exam.
ARTWORK SHOPS & ACTIVITIES:
Even if your child is not currently studying Visual Arts, they may like to participate in an Art Workshop available locally or in Sydney.
