We will introduce simple concepts that will broaden, not limit, their unique and raw creativity. Students will be encouraged to bring in objects from the home, start a visual art diary, and develop the beginnings of their artist practice. With Kieth tutoring this class throughout the year, students will gain an understanding of concepts in art through a range of creative, technical and other exercises that are fun and engaging. This is the first of a four term program on Architec-tive that focusses on the House and Home as a vehicle for art making and learning. Subsequent terms will explore acrylic and watercolour painting, monotype and collagraph printmaking, sculpture and more. |
