Criss Canning inspired still life

Students were introduced to the work of Criss Canning one of the Australia’s leading, contemporary still-life artists. As our Artist in Residence, Criss Canning conducted a workshop with our students via Webex

Using Criss Canning’s work as inspiration, students have begun a study of still life -  exploring and practicing rendering what they see.
