Archibald Unit 4 - The Manchibald Prize exhibition

To complete the Level 4 study of the Archibald Prize students chose their best portrait they had created over the term which was then displayed in the 'Manchibald Prize and Exhbition'. This allowed students to learn about displaying work, cropping, framing and hanging art work. The students formed an art committee to organise all aspects of the exhibition which was a great success.

The school community was asked to vote on their favourite artwork.

The winner of the 'Manchibald Prize won a special art pack.

And the winners are .....

Warm and cold bodies

The preps continued their study of colour by creating vibrant and dynamic drawings using the outlines of their own bodies and filling in their bodies using groups of warm and cold colours. They were encouraged to identify warm and cool colours and place them into groups and then complete the drawing with patterns. They had a ball!!

Archibald Prize Unit 3

The third activity for this unit was students completing a charcoal portrait of a call mate using white pencil for highlights and coloured oil pastels for the background. They were inspired by the video by Dillon.

They were encouraged to focus on shadows with an emphasis on shading.
