Programme Synopsis This programme is co:created with Mary Bernadette Lee, a local visual artist who gets inspiration from her natural surroundings. Students will engage in close observations of the visual qualities of the objects around them, and use them as material to create their own art and designs. Students will first be brought on a walking tour outdoors to gather objects in nature that intrigue them. Through the series of activities, students will use mark-making techniques, specifically frottage, printing, and drawing, to extract forms and patterns from the natural objects that they have collected. These marks, forms, and patterns would be developed into stamps after being translated into lino cuts/foam sheets. Experiencing a process-driven approach to art-making through this programme, students will be able to apply this way of working to create original artworks that are inspired simply by nature or objects around them.
