Ink Blots and Charcoal Dots

January 23, 2019

This week the Assemblage Sisters began our Artists in Residence program at Guardian Learning Barangaroo.

Led by Lisa Bergan, the children created ink blots and charcoal markings. As it was our first day we started by meeting and working with children from 0 -preschool age. Rather than attempting to complete a work in one sitting, the children will be introduced to different materials, tools and techniques adding layers to their work in subsequent weeks.

The process of making art. Lessons in life.

April 18, 2023

Inspired by stained glass windows, L aged 7, has planned and created this pony painting. Taking time to arrange ideas and organise materials before realising the final art work is an important and transferable skill. Children often rush their work because adults rush them. Let's give them time to learn and enjoy the process. Here L has also learned about colour mixing and values, composition, brush techniques. ...and had fun doing it.
