Here is what's happening in Art and Technology

Ms Helen Ifandis

Monash University Museum of Modern Art

The year 12 Art Making and Exhibiting visited Monash University Caulfield, in preparation for their Unit 4 School Assessed Coursework. The students gain insight into the 'behind the scenes' in the gallery setting such as conservation, care, display, presentation and transportation of artworks.

Students develop their knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the curator and design team in the gallery.

VCE - Art Making and Exhibiting Excursion to the International National Gallery of Victoria - French Impressionism and Martin Grant Exhibition

Cyanotype Workshop at MUMA - Monash University of Modern Art

The year 11 Art making and Exhibiting students attended 'a hands on workshop' at MUMA with Australian artist - Rudi Williams. These workshops are offered FREE for Secondary schools across Victoria.

The students experienced first hand, the artworks, life and inspirations of the artist. They use camera-less photographic techniques to create a cyanotype as well as a Silver gelatin print. The students were immersed in the creative process through the exploration of found objects on light sensitive papers and fabric, which were then exposed to direct sunlight. The compositions came to life once outside. The pre treated fabric sheet was washed and left to dry, where as the Silver Gelatin print remained dry.

The students viewed the exhibition - IMAGE ECONOMIES, this exhibition explores the impact of evolving digital technologies on image-making, self-representation and media consumption.

Gallery design and exhibition layout, was key for the students, most importantly when they begin to make decisions about the who the audience will be for their own display of artworks. The students gained great insight into the roles of the gallery curator, education officer, director and the role of the artist.
