Year 7 - Packaged Food Drawings + Sculptures in progress

Year 7 artists have completed their popular food drawings. Students used the Grid Method, which helped guide them when transferring their compositions onto paper, this also helped replicate exact proportions. Students applied techniques such as blending various hues, burnishing, and line marking to apply additional textural detail. 

Last week, students began transforming their chosen packaged food 2D drawing into a 3D sculpture in collaboration with their peers. In groups and with the inspiration of artist Claes Oldenburg, students have created armatures for their sculpture frame, and applied the Paper Mache method to construct their enlarged sculptures. Students will be applying paint to their works to replicate the bright and colourful packaging of their chosen food products. 

Year 8 - Cubist Artworks

Year 8 have recently completed their Cubist inspired artworks. Over the last few weeks we have studied the art movement Cubism (analytical and synthetic) and analysed artworks of Picasso to inspire our own creation, choosing either a chair or instrument to explore as their subject matter. As a result, students have implemented various Cubism techniques into their own work such as fragmentation, multiple perspectives and geometric shapes. 

Year 10 - Suburbia: Collection of Works (planning stage)

Year 10 artists have recently begun collating inspirational imagery, brainstorming potential suburban concepts, researching and drawing inspiration from focus artists, experimenting as well as drafting designs for their collection of works. Students have been developing a proposal in their VAPD in order to be provided with quality feedback. From here, students will adapt and consider feedback provided to in turn enhance existing ideas even further. We look forward to the development of these works as well as showcasing finished products during the CAPA showcase next Term.
