CONTEMPORARY ART 101 – IDEAS AND PRACTICE
Discover contemporary approaches towards teaching, talking about, interpreting and creating contemporary art with Contemporary Art 101: ideas and practice. ACCA's hands-on program combines a curator tour of NEW15, artist talks and practical artist-run workshops with leading Australian artists Patricia Piccinini and Paul Wood. It will provide secondary art teachers with engaging and inspiring contemporary art learning activities that can be directly applied into the classroom.
Start the day with an exclusive tour of NEW15 with curator Matt Hinkley, discussing the artworks and processes involved in curating the exhibition. Explore, with prominent Australian artist Patricia Piccinini, the wonder and diversity of nature combined with the fantastical and scientific by creating delicate anthropomorphic compositions. Discover Paul Wood’s unique and playful ceramic assemblages and create your own contemporary take on assemblage using ready-made household items.
A set of resources will be provided so that activities can be adapted and used by secondary students at different levels.
