Class Overview & Values

​

This is an age-appropriate class for children. The Studio Kids focus on a range 7 - 12 yrs. Of processes and mediums across drawing and painting to continually build their knowledge and practical skills. Each term there will be a new focus, encouraging a sustained series of individual projects. Styles range from realistic, experimental and abstract forms.

 

An emphasis is given to technique, ideas and experiences. Our internal Art-of Giving Art Program alongside core projects each term enrich student thinking, cultural appreciation, and knowledge of creativity across perspectives, with a focus on the whole child.

The Art of Giving-Art Program

​

Chapter 1: The Bear, The Whale & The Lyrebird

Chapter 2: The Brolga (Crane), the Rainbow Fish & The Deer (Stag)

 

​

​

This is a Sienna Art Space program that fosters cross - cultural awareness, universal concepts, symbolism & art literacy in a studio-based, loving, community atmosphere.

 

The program touches on the potential of art, as a means to therapeutic action and social change. Students begin to develop their conceptual skills and identify ranging definitions of art and the role of artistic creation in life. Erin's aim is to deepen appreciation for people and to giving opportunity for respectful discussion. Students grow their social awareness through creativity and activities. Students gain so much through our community and are blessed with the inclusion of personal spiritualities and sharing their culture. Experiences of a varied nature are honoured and valued. We all benefit from the soul discussions and the interaction of how art breathes life into who we are and gives birth to new understandings overall. A lot of the symbols, navigations are basic and introductory so far as allowing students of this age to engage with what they know, experience and give them interpretation opportunities. Over time that energy builds a personal and collective culture in-studio repertoire around knowledge, & an environmental support for appreciation across places, people and learning availability-windows.

Erin has brought in new directions for writing awareness alongside her teaching this year, with Installation work transparent to Studio students with the Visual - revamp on The Sun House & Wave Studio.
