This term, we have an exciting opportunity to delve into the world of mixed media and printmaking techniques, while also incorporating inspiration from renowned artists and their unique styles. Our goal is to not only develop our artistic skills but also to generate innovative and creative ideas.
To start our artistic journey, we will focus on honing our drawing abilities, emphasising important aspects such as shading, proportion, line, and composition. We will also explore various mixed-media techniques to add depth and texture to our artwork. Our subjects of study will include the influential Pop Art Movement and the captivating Stencil Street Art by artists like Banksy. We will employ diverse methods such as photography, photocopying, mixed media (pattern/collage/mono printing), dry point ink/etching, and lino cut print to bring our artistic visions to life.
To ensure that our work remains organised throughout the term, we will utilize A3 brown folders that bear our names and home base, allowing us to easily identify and locate our creations.
Moreover, we will immerse ourselves in the works of prominent artists who have left a significant impact on the art world. The artistic contributions of individuals such as Andy Warhol, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and Robert Rauschenberg will inspire and guide us as we explore new artistic possibilities.
With enthusiasm and determination, let us embark on this exhilarating journey of artistic exploration and creation. Together, we will discover our own unique voices and express ourselves through the captivating world of mixed media and printmaking
