Anatomy Extra!

Mini 2-session portraiture workshop

As part of our Anatomy for Artists workshop, we will be exploring the anatomy of portraiture. We are offering this aspect of our course as a mini workshop for those who missed out on the rest of Anatomy for Artists, or who would just like to focus in on the area of portraiture.

Human anatomy is infinitely complex and beautiful. Come and share the joys of anatomical exploration as we discover the parts that make up our structure, before tying them together as a functional whole. During this mini workshop, students will develop an understanding of the human head through study, observation and representation of the skull and muscles, and a session with a life model.

6 & 13 Mar

Cost: $95, book tickets online>>

Anatomy for Artists

An anatomy course for anyone wanting to learn or improve their skills and understanding of the human body in art making.

The course will take a comprehensive approach to the muscular-skeletal structure of the body, its individual parts, its form and mechanical function as a whole. Students will gain understanding of the body through the study, observation and representation of the skeleton and muscular system, drawing/painting/sculpting of life models and exploration of movement in their own bodies.

Suitable for a range of levels from beginners to artists already working with the figure or portraiture.

Wednesdays 6:30 – 9pm, 6 Feb – 13 Mar (6 weeks)

Cost: $285 (full 6 weeks) or join in late and we’ll deduct the cost of the lessons you missed. Contact Yilian to find out more.

Women artists have been the subject of varying degrees of critical attention and neglect throughout history. It is an established fact that galleries in general represent more male artists, promote their work more vigorously and sell it for higher prices.

Five years ago, with the assistance of the Bett Gallery, 24 Tasmanian women formed the Artemisia Collecting Group. Recognising a gender imbalance in the arts, they decided to focus their collection on women artists. Together they have amassed an impressive collection of 31 artworks – all by Australian women artists whose work is nationally and internationally recognised.

This exhibition presents an exciting opportunity to see this collection as a whole for the first time. The exhibition shows work by Tasmanian artists, sitting alongside the work of contemporaries from around the country.

The collecting group chose the name “Artemisia” acknowledging the 17th Century Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi, regarded as one of the most accomplished painters in her generation at a time when female painters were almost unknown. The Artemisia Collecting Group hopes to inspire more Tasmanians to enjoy and explore art, and most importantly, to support more women artists.

Emma Bugg’s exhibition is a creative investigation into concrete, expressed through the form of jewellery. It explores the material of concrete and the perceived value of jewellery by using an unexpected material not commonly associated with the body.

The work is experimental – focusing on achieving interesting surface textures and forms. There is a rawness to the materials embedded in the concrete, including horse hair, brick, blue metal, Tasmanian abalone shell and iron.

The artist’s experimental jewellery and small-scale sculptural works have been created during a development grant funded by Arts Tasmania with a focus on material exploration. This exhibition signifies a sidestep from Emma’s commercial practice to expand her skills and research innovative ways to work with concrete.
