Lecturer: Alex Beckinsale
Mon 16 Oct – Mon 20 Nov 4.15pm – 6.15pm
For Senior Secondary Year Levels 10 – 12
Join us in Term 4 for a course specifically designed for students in Senior School Year Levels 10 to 12. This course will utilise Art Deco and Art Nouveau influences to help students to create beautiful and eye catching contemporary drawings.
Alex will take students through the intriguing history of these art movements through hands-on activities and long-format projects. This course will invite the students to explore visual storytelling using these distinctive artistic styles. They will have the opportunity to use the elegance of Art Deco’s geometric forms, as well as the organic and whimsical aesthetics of Art Nouveau.
Materials required:
A3 sketchbook, HB, 2B, 4B + 6B graphite pencils, hard + kneadable eraser, coloured pencils, charcoal, a rag or old pillow case, and 2x A1 pieces of cartridge paper for the last 2 weeks of the course.
Optional – iPad with Procreate or Sketchbook installed (or a laptop with a tablet + similar digital art software).
Please note: students will need to bring materials to all classes.
For all your material needs and advice, Central Artist Supplies is located next to our Administration Office at 7 Mulberry Road, Glenside.
