This an opportunity for teenagers to expand their skills and learn portraiture techniques and processes from artist Rhonda Ellem. Please see below for an overview of what students will learn on each day, at the end of the workshop students can submit their works into the Young Archie Competition at NERAM. If the student wishes to do this then please ensure to complete the Young Archie Entry Form prior to the workshop as a parents signature is required. Printed copies will be available on the day.

Day one

Be immersed in the feel of the gallery by drawing in the Mazda space/studio for about an hour. Artists in the Archibald paint their subjects from a number of sittings. This is called ‘painted from life’. We can’t do that in the studio but you can experience working from your photos in a personal way by producing a number of studies; you’ll create a series of realistic, Picasso-esque and Surrealist process portraits on paper.

Then move into the Archibald exhibition galleries and discover who won $100,000; the Packer’s Prize and ANZ People’s Choice. Why do some artists use the dual-portrait format, why use collage and distortion, and how and why have traditional rules been broken? Where do you stand on the realism divide?  Finish the afternoon with a half hour drawing session amongst the fifty Archibald portraits.

Day two

To the Packsaddle Studio with pencil, charcoal, paint and easels. Begin the two-hour session with a short discussion/show of works then develop ideas from your best studies from yesterday which culminate in your portrait masterpiece!

The portrait should be of a person who is special to you, someone who is known to you and plays a significant role in your life. You’ll need to bring hard copy photo/s of that special person to the workshop, preferably photo/s that you’ve taken, frontal, profile, candid or otherwise.
