Years 9 and 10 Visual Arts – Drawing Workshop with Joshua McPherson, SCS Artist in Residence

This week our Year 9 and Year 10 Visual Arts students participated in inspiring life drawing workshops led by Joshua McPherson, acclaimed artist, art teacher and Sydney Catholic Schools‘ Artist in Residence. The workshops provided a unique opportunity for students to refine their observational skills and explore expressive techniques under McPherson’s expert guidance. Working with a professional life model, students were encouraged to experiment with line, tone, and proportion, fostering their confidence in depicting the human form. The session emphasised the importance of direct observation and artistic interpretation, aligning their technical skills and creative thinking.
