Lecturer: Kate Hendry Sat 2 May to Sat 13 Jun (exculding 6 Jun long weekend) 1.30pm – 4.30pm Teens: (Year levels 9 to 12) Future Master’s: Teen Oil Painting Lab is appropriate for student’s who have previously undertaken the Teen Intro to Oil Class with Kate Hendry or have some previous experience with oil painting. Student’s will be encouraged to expand their oil painting skills with personalised assistance and mentoring from the lecturer. They will complete more challenging exercises designed to build upon existing skills. This course will allow more time to work on personal painting projects, for teens to develop their own artistic voice and visions in a subject area of their choosing. The lecturer will introduce them to different painting techniques and artists from the old masters and the impressionists, to contemporary oil painters. This course will equip students with the fundamental skills to complete their own projects in oil paint. It is perfect for students finalising their SACE Visual Arts folio and working towards their practical project. It is also perfect for those ready to harness their creative potential through oil paint in a supportive learning environment.
