2016 Term 3 Twilight Conference

To show and understand: tone, texture, line, contrast, weight and pressure, balance, gradation, blending, brush purpose, life of energetic drawing, strength of a series, warm and cool colours, the cool colour recede, etc.

Each participant will be given a choice of subject matter. They will draw the image many times using a variety of techniques.

Participants please bring an insect, fruit, shell or some tonal image (not just line) that you would like to work from.

In this workshop processes and skills identified in visual art ACARA content descriptors will be demonstrated. A real unit planned from ACARA for Preps, but easily adapted for older children, will be unpacked, including stunning images of real work samples. A conversation about current thinking on Assessment in ACARA and specifically in the arts will be facilitated.

This session will include a presentation on using Indigenous artist, Sally Gabori’s artwork for inspiration.
