We are thrilled to share some of the stunning submissions created as part of the recent Year 10 Modernism research task. Students have been exploring the historical context of early to mid-20th Century Europe and America and learning about the political, social and cultural change that informed a move away from realism. Students have been examining how artists invented new forms of art and a new visual language to respond to the rapid, permanent changes of this time. Students have explored movements such as Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Pointillism and Post-Impressionism and Pop Art. In their practical submissions they have reflected an understanding of these modernist forms of representation in relation to their own world.
Below are some examples of their work. Congratulations Year 10!
Students are encouraged to submit works to a new prize, a subsidiary of the Paddington Art Prize, called the Young Paddo Prize. Students are invited to submit A4 works on paper that examine the Australian environment or landscape. Please drop by the staffroom if you have further questions or follow the link here.
