The Visual Arts and Design Educators Association of NSW  www.vadea.org  seeks to promote the study of Visual Arts and Design education and to inspire as well as effectively support Visual Arts and Design teachers. As a part of this program a free workshop is being given to develop approaches in the development of a BOW and preparing for the HSC written examination. These workshops have already operated in Gymea and Newcastle with huge success and plans are being made to go Wagga Wagga, Dubbo and Murwillumbah later this year.

Attendance to this workshop will mean you receive profession help in terms of your preparation for your HSC students as well as effective resources will be given in paper form and a CD (providing study notes and powerpoints). All that is asked of you is your attendnce and consideration of joining VADEA the most dynamic professional association of Visual Arts Teachers.

Presenters Join Jane Poiner and Graeme Coleman will explore strategies for success in both the practical and art history/criticism for stage 6 Visual Arts. The workshop will provide approaches in designing programs and activities that engages and inspires students’ learning in the HSC course.

To reiterate the event teachers attending will receive program samples, a CD of student work with assessment comments and the opportunity to connect with other like-minded teachers. VADEA is attempting to unite Visual Arts and Design educators and provide professional development, curriculum information and resources.

So come along its free and it will be in your professional interest.

This is part of VADEA's regional workshop program, focusing on the Hunter and Newcastle region a workshop is being held at Hunter School of Performing Arts. This free workshop will present a range of pedagogical ideas that you can take directly back to the classroom. Focusing on HSC Art making and studying of history and Criticism, each participant will leave with an example program and lots of practical tips for teaching this subject, still relatively new to many schools.

Group Mixed Media Exhibition
at Art Moment Gallery

Moments of Inspiration 09 celebrates and explores in a variety of media the theme of artistic inspiration by 16 artists from around Australia of varying age and experience.

Located in the heart of Bondi Beach, Art Moment Gallery invites you to see what inspires contemporary artists in this country to create their innovative, vibrant works.

Inna Moshkovich, abstract artist and exhibition’s curator describes her artistic inspiration. “Painting is my tool for communication, unlike words, colour can’t be misinterpreted. Each stroke is an opportunity for me to express my thoughts and feelings. I am trying to find my place in the rainbow of colour.”

“The soul of art is inspiration,” Ginia A. Davis.

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working,” Pablo Picasso.

“Moments of Inspiration 09 is an annual exhibition at Art Moment Gallery, offering this year a variety of colourful, positive artistic expressions by artists not afraid to share what drives and concerns them today.”

Wilson Street Gallery

Exhibition: The Printed Image - Marnling Press & Whaling Road Studio @ Wilson Street Gallery.

Limited edition and unique state prints from collaborative printmakers Michelle Perry and Diana Davidson exploring the possibilities of print media, with significant Australian contemporary artists. Also showing Rafael Butron and Anne Starling from Grip Editions Limited edition prints: a collector’s dream

Wilson Street Gallery is bringing the art of printmaking out of the studio and into the spotlight with an exhibition showcasing limited edition prints created in collaboration with significant Australia contemporary artists. Works by Elisabeth Cummings, Anne Thomson, Jasper Knight, Alun-Leach Jones, Dorothy Ngapangardi, James McGrath and David Serisier, will be featured.

Michelle Perry from Marnling Press said that both she and Diana Davidson from Whaling Rd Press had mastered the complexity of this art over many hard years. “Above all, we have learned to tune in to the vision and aesthetic of each artist that we work with”, she said. “The resulting collaboration is unique and at times breathtaking.”

Gallery Director Janet Clayton said that prints are frequently acquired as an affordable way to enjoy artworks from a greater range of well-known artists. “But these are not mere reproductions”, she said. “The complex creative processes involved in print-making result in a collectable work of art with a distinctive presence.”

Janet Clayton said that the Printed Image exhibition would be complemented by an exhibition in its annexe, Back Street Gallery featuring work by the exciting young printmaking duo from Grip Editions. “In the intaglio prints of Anne Starling and the monoprints of Rafael Butron, the artist and the printmaker are one and the same”, said Janet Clayton. This is true printmaking at its finest.”

Marnling Press is operated by master printmaker Michelle Perry in an old warehouse in the backstreets of Chippendale. Whaling Road studio was established by Diana Davidson in 1978 in North Sydney working in partnership with artists on etchings and monotypes. gallery hours Wed - Sun 11 am - 6 pm (until Sun. 14th June)
