Moving into the Studio & Art Group

Last week students at Art Group help move into the new studio. The images speak for themselves.

ART News!

This term several students have been attending ceramic/pottery classes at Macquarie Hospital. Anne Coroneos a TAFE teacher with an enormous amount of experience in this area has been taking the classes. Along side of this Margaret has been attending the art group on Tuesday morning lending advice to members and making plans to get the art studio up and running.

New Art Studio

Here at Cornucopia an art studio has been created (the old shed never looked better)! The Create team have carried out some serious cleaning, paving and look some new windows to create a beautiful art space. Soon students will be able to work independently. There are plans for 'artist in residence' and this will have a flow on effect to students, new courses and opportunities for exhibitions. Watch this space. Margaret Westcott

Semester 1

This term students concentrated on portraits and faces.

Students entered 6 works to the Hunter Hill Art Show, three works were selected for hanging - this is quite an achievement. A large felt work completed by the group received a highly commended.

During the term each student worked towards developing their own body of works. Continuing on will be independent artworks in our new studio. Photos coming soon. We have also been commissioned to make at least 5 paintings - one to be chosen to be hung at the Corunucopia Cafe.

A GREAT START TO 2008

Students started the term with a visit to the Willoughby Art Workshop. Students viewed the exhibition (it just happened to have my paintings exhibited) and then toured the workshop. Students had a short drawing lesson and some morning tea in Studio Two, to get some first hand experience of where a real life artist works. Not to glamorous but plenty of room. We hope to go back again.

This term we will explore people and faces and then perhaps work towards abstraction.
