During remote learning, students studying their art subjects have gotten creative with some drawing tasks as well as re-creating some artworks as relevant to the art movement they are studying.

Year 8 students are currently studying the art movement of Cubism, made famous by the artist Pablo Picasso. In exploring this art movement, students have experimented with some Cubist drawing techniques, making an ordinary object fragmented and flattened out to a two-dimensional image. How great do they look?

Street Art has been the topic of exploration and discussion for Year 9 students, starting with categorising and justifying what they believe is and is not street art. Students have then gone on to create a graffiti inspired name drawing and further to that, follow the studio process to design graphics for a skateboard deck.

As for Year 10 students, they were previously studying the art movement of Pop Art – a favourite amongst students and the public alike, due to its depiction of icons and imagery from popular culture. For a bit of fun, students were challenged to re-create a Pop Art artwork through photography, props, or a little bit of editing if they had the skills.

How do you think they went?
