The Visual Arts program is a highly prized one at Featherbrook. There appears no end to the creativity of our students who continue to amaze their teachers and all who view the displays.
Year 9 Landscapes
Students were provided with the opportunity to experiment and problem solve visual perception and visual language, utilising visual techniques, technologies, practices and processes.
Students learnt about the role of the artist, craftsperson and designer and their contribution to society. Students learnt about the relationships between the viewer and artworks and how artworks can be displayed to enhance meaning for the viewer.
To further extend these skills students completed both a portrait and landscape materials and technique study. Firstly they identified and discussed the portrait work of Dan Butterworth and looked closely at his methods completing a large scale mixed media portrait. Students identified and analysed their work and made connections between techniques, processes and visual conventions to develop their own art practice. Through their selection and manipulation of materials, techniques, processes, visual conventions and technologies, students expressed ideas and viewpoints in their artworks. Students then built on their knowledge and explored various mediums and materials to complete a canvas landscape painting using various artists' work as their inspiration. CONGRATULATIONS to all students for these amazing results.
