| Description | Students will be introduced to the basics of
Aboriginal artists' long traditions of drawing
and painting art practices. The course
introduces themes and traces traditions. It does
not concentrate on a particular culture or style
but rather explores form in terms of personal,
cultural, social and historical contexts.
Students will work on a series of assignments
that reflect a hands on approach to drawing and
painting starting with basic principles of
drawing and line forms, the introduction of
colour, personal image development and how
artists give their ideas form. They will learn to
contextualize traditional and contemporary
Aboriginal art forms and practices within the
larger discourse of contemporary painting. |
