Year 8 Art
Aerial Printmaking: Collagraph and Lino
Australian Indigenous art is the oldest ongoing tradition of art in the world. Initial forms of artistic Aboriginal expression were rock carvings, body painting and ground designs, which date back more than 30,000 years.
The quality and variety of Australian Indigenous art produced today reflects the richness and diversity of Indigenous Culture and the distinct differences between tribes, languages, dialects and geographic landscapes. Art has always been an important part of Aboriginal life, connecting past and present, the people and the land, and the supernatural and reality. Indigenous Art ranges from across a wide rarity of mediums from works on paper and canvas to fibre and glass. Introduced media such as printmaking, fabric printing and ceramics no complement traditional arts and crafts. Of particular interest is Indigenous aerial landscape art. It is a map-‐like (or birds-‐eye) view of the desert landscape. In the distant past, the common media for such artwork was rock, sand or body paint. Today, the tradition continues as paint-‐on-‐canvas dot-‐art. (Education Services Australia)

It is special to teach others (Martu and non Martu) how we live now and always have in this country. We have lived in this country for a long time, this country is us. We need to share it and talk about it and protect it, keep it strong. Working with Antony and Lynette on this project is another way for us to share our country and its story through our painting with a BIG audience from all over the world.

Task
Your task is to create two prints using aerial photographs as inspiration. This aerial perspective is linked to the approach of Indigenous artists in their paintings. • Lino relief print • Collagraph relief print
RESEARCH 1. Begin by researching Indigenous artists aerial paintings. Collect 3-‐5 images of their paintings. Annotate these images.
2. Start to collect at least 5 aerial photographs of your local area. You may include areas encompassing Kaurna land. 3. Stick these images in your book and sketch a rough composition, simplifying the areas.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION 3. Select your two best images. One will be used for collagraph and the other for lino print.
Rules for annotating: • 1 -‐2 sentences each image. Keep it brief! • Do not retell what is in the image • Do not state that you like/dislike an image Relate all comments back to art elements. E.g line, colour, shape, pattern, contrast etc and explain why.
4. COLLAGRAPH (TEACHER DEMO): a. Draw your composition onto hard cardboard. b. Using found materials, adhere these to the individual sections. Consider contrasting materials as they sit next to each other, perhaps use traditional Kaurna materials. c. Your collograph will need to be lacquered heavily and repeated the following week. This will take time to dry. In the mean time prepare your lino print. d. Watch teacher demo for printing your collagraph. 5. LINO PRINT (TEACHER DEMO): a. Using your 2nd composition fill in each area with a different pattern. Consider the use of positive and negative space. Your design must be 15cm x 20cm b. Trace your design c. Transfer your image on to the lino d. Colour in the areas you intend to leave raised, black. e. Carve your image. f. Redraw your composition on A4 paper. Create a collaged background for your final piece. g. Print your final piece on white, coloured and collaged paper.
PRACTITIONER’S STATEMENT Complete a 250work practitioner’s statement. FULL SENTENCES Some exhibitions of professional artists work include ‘artist’s or practitioner’s statements’, which provide a brief recount of the intent behind the work, and how it was created. You will need to produce these for ALL works you produce in Year 11 and 12, so it’s good practice to begin now! • BACKGROUND This is a short paragraph that describes what the artwork is • MEDIA/ELEMENTS USED What media you have used (Relief printmaking/collagraph/lino) What elements did you consider in your design and why? E.g colour, shape etc. • DEVELOPMENT How you got there: Were there any struggles? Explain Did your final idea change from your beginning idea? Why and How? • ARTIST INTENT What were you trying to capture?
