Teens Art Club

This term we will start with making lino prints… scratching the surface and making prints of life beneath the sea. We will then learn ways of seeing as we develop our drawing skills and techniques with a series of interesting ‘still life’ arrangements. And we will complete the term with a personal mixed media project exploring ‘heart and home’.

PLEASE NOTE: You can still use your CKV before June 30th and book in for Teens Art Club Term 3. To do so please email info@sydneyartspace.com and include your child’s name, voucher number and DOB to receive the $100 discount before June 30th 2023.

Week 6: Mixed Media
Heart and Home

Making art invariably touches on things of the heart and what makes us feel at home in ourselves and in the world. Using mixed media we will create an artwork over 3 weeks expressing our individual take on heart and home. We will mix drawing, painting, print, text, stitching and collage using various papers, fabrics, threads, found materials and objects to create our artwork.

* Please bring an apron or art shirt. Particularly when we are using acrylic paints, these protect your clothes!

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.
