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 maplike (or birdseye) 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 paintoncanvas dotart.

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?
