In this program participants will compare the work of Danila Vassilieff in A New Art History and Ken Whisson: 'As If' and will be asked to consider how artists from different times have used paint as a means of expression. Guest curator Felicity St John Moore will lead a tour through the Danila Vasilieff retrospective. A widely travelled Russian émigré, Vassilieff was one of the most influential artists in Australia during the 1940s. His paintings were expressionistic and immediate and he exerted a strong influence over the younger generation of artists who were forging a new Australian modernist style of painting. Ken Whisson was a student of Vassilieff at the Koornong School in Warrandyte during the 1940s and has since become one of Australia's leading artists with a practice that is as much conceptual as it is expressive. After lunch, teachers will work with Roar Studio artist Richard Birmingham to create their own expressionist artwork.
Recommended for primary and secondary arts teachers.
