ART BUZZ

Term 1, 2021

Illustrator Focus: Furry Little Peach –  This term kids will work on projects inspired by Australian illustrator and artist Sha’an d’Anthes, AKA Furry Little Peach. Both colour and character are equally important in the creation of her charming illustrations. Subtle additions like cute little faces on inanimate objects add heaps of charm; there are always at least a few vibrant hues in each peachy palette. Students will experiment using clay, printmaking techniques and watercolours with a focus on negative space.

 

Illustrator Focus: Mark Martin –  This term in Art Buzz, we will be taking inspiration from Australian illustrator Marc Martin and his landscape illustrations. Using shape and pattern, we will be creating a wild 12 piece puzzle featuring surreal plants. We will also be using Martin’s emphasis on colour and pattern to create a city scape. In this project, the students will get a chance to understand the primary and secondary colours and how they can be used in an artwork, as well as understanding how pattern can create texture.

 

Weekly Drawing Exercises – In addition to our major artworks, every lesson the students will participate in a drawing exercise called the ‘Animal Box’ they will pick out a mystery animal from the box each week which they will learn to draw step by step, expanding their drawing repertoire and building confidence that will take them through the rest of the lesson.
