Our two Artists in Residence, Katrina Goldsworthy and LeAnne Vincent were hosted at the Mulga Lands Art Gallery to facilitate workshops with their community through the local state school.
Charleville State School, Charleville State High School and the Youth Support group at Charleville State High had students participate in these workshops. These works were then on exhibition at Mulga Lands Gallery alongside the Queensland Regional Art Awards.
Thinking through compositional strategies of pattern and decoration, Katrina Goldsworthy led participants through her ‘Creating Decorative Pots’ workshop. The participants were taught how to visualise their responses to the theme, Our Perfect New World, decorating their canvas pots.
LeAnne Vincent delivered ‘Camera-less Photography’ workshops. In these workshops students learnt camera-less photography: photograms and cyanotype printing which is one of the oldest forms of photography that began in the 1800s. Creating images using various objects placed on light sensitive paper and fabric and exposing in sunlight. The students were taken through the process of preparing the paper and fabric with the cyanotype chemistry, exposing prints outside and washing prints.
