April Gallery Sketchers

In the April session of Gallery Sketchers, you will delve into collage and drawing to create a mixed-media artwork. Learn how to assemble various textures, shapes and colours to create a strong composition and how to overlay these visual elements with drawing. Taking inspiration from the breadth of works in the exhibition, Big Smart, where First Nations artists have employed a variety of techniques and materials in their artwork, you will use collage and drawing as a way to describe the works that resonate with you, creating a montage of visual impressions.

Please bring a sketchbook if you have one and a variety of grey lead pencils. Incinerator Gallery will provide collage materials.
