  • National Art School 2019–2025 Strategic Plan Executive Summary
    National Art School 2019–2025 Strategic Plan Executive Summary The National Art School (NAS) sits on one of the most significant sites in Australia – a meeting place for the Gadigal people, the site of the oldest gaol in Australia – and since 1922 the National Art School has called this site home. Over 185 years since our founding, and 96 years on this site, we have had a dynamic history, with many of Australia’s leading artists studying and teaching here. National Art School alumni have framed late 19th Century and 20th Century Australian art practice. They have formed a significant part of the Art Gallery of NSW’s exhibitions and collection acquisitions. One in five Archibald Prize winners has come from the National Art School. But our future is in preparing contemporary artists to be well equipped for the 21st Century. At the leading art fair in the Asia Pacific – the 2018 Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, 56 out of 337 artists were NAS alumni – that is one in 6, more than any other art institution. The National Art School is Australia’s leading independent fine art school; a producer of new art; a place to experience and participate in the arts; and a presentation venue. Our future vision is for a vital and energetic arts and education precinct. A place where art is made, rehearsals take place, art is seen and most importantly people can experience and participate in art. We will partner with other NSW arts organisations to deliver valuable ACDP objectives for the engagement and participation with people living and/or working in regional NSW, people living and/or working in Western Sydney, Aboriginal people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, people with disability, and young people.

  • Brett Whiteley: on the Water
    Brett Whiteley: On the Water Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre 16th November 2012 – 27th January 2013 Education Kit: Year 7 to 12 Contents: About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley: brief Artist Biography Process Curriculum Connections Art Historical and Critical Study Questions Artmaking Activities Cross-Curricular activities Glossary of Terms References Acknowledgements Images About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley was one of the most celebrated Australian artists of the twentieth century. This major exhibition Brett Whiteley: On the Water features over 60 works including drawings, paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures. A highlight being his last unfinished work, Unfinished Beach Polyptych: six imposing panels leaving the Brett Whiteley Studio for the first time in 17 years. Whiteley was an artist who had a deep fascination with nature. Two subjects were the mainstay of his work – the landscape and the nude – and with stunning virtuosity and outstanding draughtsmanship he rendered them with a sensuousness and unique lyrical quality. Brett Whiteley: On the Water explores this special relationship Whiteley had with these subjects, the deep blue of Sydney Harbour, the glistening beaches, and the pleasurable lifestyle of the bathers languidly basking in the sun. The images tell of sensory pleasures derived from total immersion in the surf, to the meditative mood of simply staring out to sea and gazing at the harbour from his beloved home in Lavender Bay. Brett Whiteley: On the Water is presented by Hazelhurst Regional Gallery in association with the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Brett Whiteley Studio and works from private and public collections. This exhibition is especially relevant given Hazelhurst Regional Gallery’s location in Sydney’s south, surrounded by beaches, bays and rivers nestled in the Royal National Park.

How does the effect differ? Shade a piece of white paper using a thick piece of charcoal then use an eraser to draw into the tone to reveal white lines and shapes. Experiment with unconventional materials such as shoe polish and mud on flattened cardboard boxes. Use water on a paved surface to create ephemeral drawings. Document your drawings before they disappear. How do the documented forms differ from the originals? How did drawing with an eraser, shoe polish, mud and water compare to drawing with a pencil? What do you need to consider differently as an artist? How did handling these materials make you feel? Did you prefer one material to another? Create a line drawing with a pencil, a tonal drawing with charcoal and a loose ink drawing with a brush – all depicting the same subject. Compare your finished drawings. What were some of the positive and negatives of each approach? Is there one you prefer, and why? Draw without taking your drawing utensil off the page. What was challenging about this exercise? Draw something from observation without looking down at your drawing. Are you pleased with the result? What did you learn? Create a series of abstract pencil drawings using colours that reflect the way you feel.
