  • Art facilitation 3 – 29-03-2020

    With enthusiastic friends from NYNY we teleconferenced our next art facilitation session . We looked at some aspects of still life shadowing techniques and making a standalone fairy penguin.

    Here is a beautiful example  of a fairy penguin by B.C from NYNY

    The off-screen tasks is to make a family of penguins for next weeks session. A referencing point https://penguinfoundation.org.au/about-little-penguins/

    Here is an example of building more depth into a drawing using different techniques – this was achieved by first working on shading inspired by K.C. and this is P.C.’s first build up of a sketch to add depth – a beautiful character filled bird.

    Building depth into a work – we used a quince online – we are using basic videoing teleconferencing face to face – no bells and whistles. I finished my example offline

    Next Wed/Thurs will be our next session – Enjoy until then – Post your family of 3D fairy penguins made of recycled soft cardboard.

  • Art Facilitation 2 – 28-3-2020

    With the help of two children in NY city and myself in Victoria at our first teleconference workshop we devised some away from the screen time projects.

    Task 1: Was to make a multi-faced puppet head from the drawings they did in the online session. I was to go offline and to the same task

    The steps – draw faces, scrunch up news paper or any scape paper in your apartment and stick the faces to it.

    Not as easy as it looks –

    Task 2: The other task is to take a photo and draw from the photo – lucky me I can walk to a no person bayside and draw and take a photo.

    Can’t wait until tomorrow morning (their late afternoon) to see what they produced
