Vacancies at Hands On Studio

Monday afternoon 1 until 4 $24/session Vacancy: 1

These art classes concentrate mainly on painting and drawing. Students are encouraged to develop and extend their range of pictorial motifs/subjects. Periodically, students are encouraged to produce work on a set theme, usually with a view to producing work for a specific exhibition.

Students are given the opportunity and encouraged to improve their knowledge and application of specific painting and drawing techniques and materials. Techniques considered include: perspective, composition, tonal balance, colour harmony, glazes and impasto etc.

Materials for use include - for drawing: graphite pencils, coloured pencils, marker pens and water soluble pencils; and for painting: acrylic paints, watercolour paints and occasionally (under supervision) oil paints.
All art works produced by students are assessed for inclusion in the frequent exhibitions held by the studio. Students are involved to their capacity in selecting art works and considering presentation of works, pricing and titling work with a view to enabling students to produce and exhibit their artwork independently.
