Description:
| ‘Art in the Outback’ is a six-week program, based at the College of Fine Arts (COFA) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia. The program also includes extensive field trips – from Kakadu National Park in Australia’s ‘top end’; to Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the ‘red centre’; to Cairns, on the Great Barrier Reef.
The program is divided into a practical element and an academic element. The practical element will be derived from a first-hand encounter with a specific landscape and environment. By drawing and painting from direct observation, this course will encourage students to deal with the natural world as a source of ideas and inspiration while enabling them to discover the practical solutions to working outside the studio environment. Students will be challenged to use the material they have gathered in the field to develop studio work back in Sydney.
The academic element has been designed to complement and provide a background to the practical sessions in the field. In Darwin, students will be provided with an overview of Aboriginal art forms that were practiced prior to European settlement. They will examine traditionally-based art forms that are still practiced in the more remote parts of Australia as well as the most recent developments in Aboriginal art.
