Art as Lens: Using typography, narratives and nostalgia

Take a look through the lens of celebrated Brisbane artist Martin Smith and explore the professional application of his artistic practice in photography and photomedia.

In his work, Martin employs photography, typography and storytelling to consider how language and modes of representation are used to express and interpret personal experience. He works with concepts like nostalgia, narrative and identity, playing with personal and contemporary contexts by drawing on his experience and speaking to universal understandings.

This workshop is relevant to arts educators, artists and arts workers. It also includes direct links to the Visual Arts Senior Syllabus, providing teachers with ideas and scaffolding for delivering Unit 1, Art as Lens.
