Our Year 10 Visual Arts students have been lucky enough to take part in a 2-day art workshop with mixed media artist, Jody Graham. Jody is a multidisciplinary artist, specialising in contemporary drawing practices. Students were introduced to a variety of drawing techniques which they will continue to develop throughout the semester.
The students took part in a series of activities including:
- Expressive mark making with charcoal
- Expressive painting with inks
- Layering materials to create contemporary artworks
- Watercolour techniques
- Designing and creating experimental drawing tools
The boys will now use these new skills to develop their own art-making practice for their ‘Land, Sea, Air’ compositional panel exploring local flora and fauna. This incursion allowed students to experiment with a wide range of new materials, processes and techniques, leading to further confidence in their personal art-making practice.
