Teens Art Club

Join our fabulous artist and arts tutor Sue Richardson as she guides you through a wonderful creative program. During the term students will explore a range of techniques/materials focusing on building foundational skills in drawing, painting and modelling in clay whilst harnessing their own unique creative expression. We will draw inspiration from life & imaginations weaving in the seasons, nature, dreams and story. Participants will also get the chance to work on and develop their own projects from home.

Please note Term 3 Teens Art Club will be held online from the Sydney Art Space Studio via Zoom from 3.30-5.00pm on Wednesday afternoons for 7 sessions for Term 3 commencing Wednesday 28th July and the zoom link will be sent to you after your enrolment. Cost for the 7 week program and art pack is $380.

There will be an Art Pack to cover our Term 3 program. This can be picked up from Sydney Art Space prior to commencement of Week 1 Term 3 on Monday 26th July.

The art pack includes:

Acrylic paints, packet of oil pastels, drawing paper pad, set of paint brushes, 1 canvas, 1 charcoal stick, 1 graphite pencil, 1 eraser, air drying clay, wooden skewers, plastic plates.

THEME:
WINTER BEACH – DRAWING SCULPTING  PAINTING

Week 1

Drawing a still life using objects from the beach; shells, driftwood and seaweed. This initial composition can then be photographed on your mobile or tablet and an area may be selected to enlarge for further drawing investigation.

Week 2

Mixed media work using acrylic paints, oil pastels and charcoal inspired by your composition from Week 1 still life objects from the beach.

Week 3

Create a shell-like pot inspired by the sea, developing coiling clay hand building techniques used by the Hermannsburg Potters of Central Australia.

NOTE: This could also be a small shallow bowl with a design of the ocean painted or inscribed.

Week 4

Continuing to develop our art vessels inspired by the sea and the Hermannsburg potters.

Week 5

Canvas painting of winter sea objects using information and things learnt from our drawing and multi-media exercises to begin developing your own unique composition.

Week 6

Continuing to develop your canvas painting composition of winter sea objects investigating light, shade, background and foreground.

Week 7

Painting up your sea vessels using acrylics to take home and enjoy.

Sketch book

I intend that this course supports the students own creative journey. They should each bring a small sketch book with them, to record and develop their own ideas, dream up their own projects, and practice drawing. Sometimes in the process of art making there is waiting time, perhaps waiting for something to dry, or to take turns in using a particular process or piece of equipment. During these times the student can be using their sketch book.
