MATERIAL EXPERIMENTATION: Rosina Possingham (at ACE)
In this MATERIAL EXPERIMENTATION workshop artist Rosina Possingham leads student artists in an exploration of vector-based digital drawing techniques. This workshop will occur at ACE.
Adelaide Contemporary Experimental
24 October 2023
9:30am to 12:30pm
MATERIAL EXPERIMENTATION workshops support student artists in redefining success, valuing risk-taking over convention, and experimentation over perfection. We think student artists in years 10 to 12 will find these workshops most valuable.
Experimentation of ideas and mediums drive contemporary art making. An artist’s ability to experiment and take risks will determine their potential for growth, concept development and creative output. Embracing materials engenders a sense of exploration and innovation, allowing artists to expand their artistic boundaries. Through persistent trial and error artists cultivate an intimate familiarity with their chosen medium. They unearth fresh perspectives, insights and unexpected connections between ideas and materials that give their work intricacy and depth.
MATERIAL EXPERIMENTATION invites secondary school artists to work with one of four contemporary artists in practical workshops that explore approaches to artistic experimentation.
