CREATIVE PATHWAYS: PREPARING FOR YEAR 12 VISUAL ARTS
This three-day course is designed to prepare Year 11 and 12 students for success in SACE Stage 2 Visual Arts. The course will introduce students to renowned professional artists Roy Ananda, Benen Hamon, and Alex Beckinsale. Through engaging artist talks and hands-on practical workshops, they will explore the processes of developing innovative and personally relevant concepts for your Visual Study, Folio and Practical assessments.
FEATURES IN FOCUS: DRAWING HANDS, EYES AND MORE…
This three-day course is designed to help artists tackle the most challenging and intricate aspects of the human form. In the first two days you’ll dive into targeted lessons on drawing complex features such as hands, eyes, feet, and facial details, learning key anatomical structures and techniques. The last day will focus on applying this knowledge to a life drawing session with a live model, enhancing your ability to capture these features with precision and expressiveness. This course is perfect for artists aiming to improve their skill in drawing detailed and nuanced areas of the human body.
SUMMER SCHOOL 2026 | TEEN INTENSIVE
Bring together your favourite aspects of popular culture and drawing in this playful Term 4 Teen Short Course!
Focusing on creative processes and the students’ own interests, Alex will walk students through ways to incorporate elements from contemporary pop culture into art making. The course will encourage students to think imaginatively, problem solve, and think about art in new and inventive ways.
IPAD FIGURE DRAWING
Join Alex and learn some fundamental Procreate drawing skills and how this exciting digital medium can be applied to drawing the human figure!
Over two mornings, participants will explore the tools, brushes, and techniques that make digital figure drawing expressive and fun. Starting with the basics and building confidence through guided exercises, students will discover how to sketch, colour, and layer their work to create dynamic, lifelike compositions.
By the end of the course, each participant will have developed a finished digital artwork using reference materials.
This course is perfect for participants who have had some drawing experience and are looking to expand their figurative drawing with the creative possibilities of digital art on the iPad.
