The study of the human form is the most fundamental constituent of the artmaking experience. The body is an immensely complex physical object and presents the ultimate challenge for a developing artist. Kambala’s Year 10 Visual Arts students undertook such a challenge recently, with a life drawing session designed to complement their study of the nude in art history.
Year 10 worked with a professional nude life model to each create a suite of stunning observational drawings. Ms Grace Davenport facilitated this experience, drawing upon her own skills as a fine artist to expertly lead the girl’s practical learning. Working from a live nude allowed Year 10 to excel as young practitioners and our girl’s creative enthusiasm continues to flourish in Kambala’s exciting arts program.
