What is it and why should I do it?
In Art you will develop a folio of work that allows you to express your own ideas and interests within a range of areas of our study. You will explore methods of art production on paper in a variety of materials; these experimental works will lead to production of a finished work that takes the form of a painting on stretched canvas. This artwork will be exhibited in a mid-year exhibition.
What will I do in class?
You will be developing your ideas and themes in your visual diary. This content will provide material for production of an experimental collection of works on paper. You will also produce paint experiments to prepare you for your final canvas painting/s. The class will learn how to prepare a canvas from start to finish with a custom-built frame.
