ADVICE

FOR TEACHERS

Area of study 1: Artworks and meaning



Research the work of at least three artists who have explored the theme of Journey.
Analyse and interpret at least one artwork by each artist, by applying the Personal
Framework and the Structural Framework. Include both historic artists (pre 1990s)
and contemporary artists (post 1990s) in your research.

Area of study 2: Art making and personal meaning



Create a series of artworks to reflect your own interpretation of the theme Personal
Journey.

Research a variety of artists, who have explored the theme of Journey in
their work.
Brainstorm the theme from a variety of perspectives and consider how the concept
relates to your own life experiences.
Create a folio of work, which addresses this theme and clearly demonstrates the
use of a variety of techniques, materials and processes.
Annotate and evaluate your ideas in a visual diary, using the Structural and
Personal framework.

Area of study 1: Artworks and meaning


Detailed Example.

Research the work of at least three artists, who have explored the theme of
Journey,

Journey can refer to an actual physical journey travelling from one place to
another; wandering around a particular urban or landscape location in order to
explore it; or enforced migration such as the journeys made by slaves or refugees.
However journeys dont always have to involve physical travel. The term journey
is often used to describe the journeys we make in life: such as personal
experiences that involve an element of self-discovery or more generally the
journey through life growing up or getting old. Journey might also be used in
relation to formal processes in art making, for example in the work of artists
whose process dictates the end result of the work. (Tate Gallery, 2016)

A number of artists have addressed the theme of Journey in their work. Choose
three artists from the list below. Include a mix of both historic artists (pre 1990s)
and contemporary artists (post 1990s) in your research.

Suggested Historic Artists include: Charles Blackman, Escher, Frida Kahlo, Jacob
Lawrence, Paul Gauguin and Tommy Mc Rae.

Suggested Contemporary Artists include: Bill Viola, Tracey Emin, Ben Langlands and
Nikki Bell, Papunya Tula Artists, Ed Fairburn, Simon Lewty, Annie Leibovitz, Steve
McCurry, Ellie Davies, Daniel Crooks, Mark Wallinger, Hamish Fulton, Edward Ruscha,
Patrick Keiller, Willie Doherty, Francis Als, Ellen Gallagher, Lubaina Himid, Tania
Bruguera, Donald Rodney, Simon Starling and Ruth Ewan.

Select at least one artwork by each artist and analyse, interpret and respond the
work using the Structural Framework and Personal Framework. For example,
analyse, interpret and respond to Charles Blackmans Feet beneath my table (1956)
using the Structural and Personal Framework. (See Framework questions in attached
Appendix)


Structural Framework

Example: Blackmans Feet beneath my table (1956)



Blackman has created bold, colorful imagery inspired by Lewis Carrolls Alices
Adventures in Wonderland, in which Alice falls down a rabbit hole and takes a
journey through an extraordinary and bizarre imaginary world. Blackman has created
an eccentric, quirky composition, in which objects are somewhat out of proportion
to one another. The result is rather disconcerting, yet amusing and whimsical at the
same time. Two large teacups and a teapot seem to levitate in the air and strange
assemblages of single feet and pairs of feet reside underneath the table.

Blackmans materials of tempera, oil and enamel paint on Swedish hardboard
provide him the freedom to work with a particular intensity. Blackman explains that,
the medium had a lot to do with the immediacy of the paintings. Tempera acts as a
catalyst with enamel and as they dry at varying speeds they might flow into each
other. Explosions might erupt. The discovery of this medium allowed me to work
with spontaneity and seize the evocative power of the image as it opened. (Charles
Blackman, quoted in N. Amadio, Charles Blackman: The Lost Domains, Sydney, 1983,
p.26.) The unpredictability of Blackmans chosen medium reflects the notion that
Alice is thrown into an unpredictable and rapidly changing world, in which anything
can happen.

Personal Framework

Example: Blackmans Feet beneath my table (1956)



Charles Blackman played Lewis Carrolls Alices Adventures in Wonderland to his
wife, in the form of a talking book. Blackmans wife, Barbara was suffering from
progressive blindness at the time. Alice, the main character in the book, was a young
girl moving through a series of irrational situations, constantly frustrated by various
events. This paralleled Barbaras own confusing and disconcerting journey towards
blindness. Blackman was inspired by this extraordinary and bizarre tale and painted
the pictures for Barbara, in an attempt to give sight to the story. Blackmans choice

of subject matter was directly influenced by his daily life. The Tea time theme
reflected the fact that Blackman worked at a Melbourne caf during the evenings.
He was the only chef and was often required to cook and serve a number of
customers their meals each night.

Area of study 2: Art making and personal meaning


Detailed Example.

Explore the theme Personal Journey.
RESEARCH
Investigate the meaning of the term journey. Consider its meaning from a number
of different perspectives.
Brainstorm the topic. Create a mind map or mood board based on the theme.
Research various artists that have explored the theme of Personal Journey. Include
examples of the work you find most inspiring in your visual diary. Annotate each of
these examples using the Structural Framework and Personal Framework.
INVESTIGATION OF MATERIALS, TECHNIQUES AND PROCESSES
Experiment with a variety of materials, techniques and processes to support the
development of creative visual responses to the Journey theme. Create sketches or
take photographs as a starting point for exploration. Trial different materials which
appeal to you personally, this may include: painting, drawing, photography,
printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, installation art, textiles, fibre art,
light and sound etc.
Suggestions include:
Take a series of photographs, which represents your journey from home to school or
another journey you often take in daily life.
Using Aboriginal Art as your inspiration, create a map depicting a journey through a
landscape or environment you are very familiar with. Devise a series of unique
symbols to represent the main features within the landscape.
Collect and photocopy a variety of historic or contemporary maps. Experiment with
collaging techniques to create an interesting background for your artwork.
SELECT AND EXPLORE
Reflect on your experimental trials and consider which directions have the most
potential. Develop a range of compositions and enhance your artwork through
manipulation of the art elements and principles.


REFINE IDEAS AND SKILLS
Explore various ways to improve the image. Can the image be more dynamic in any
way? Could the artwork benefit from being cropped? Have you adequately
addressed the theme of Personal Journey? Could the artwork be improved by
amending the composition?

REALISE VISUAL RESPONSES- RESOLUTION

Students are required to resolve their ideas and create visual responses that
demonstrate their personal interests and ideas. This may take the form of a series of
paintings, drawings, prints and photographs etc. Students may choose to combine a
mixture of art forms, which reflect the Personal Journey theme.

REFLECTION

Evaluate their visual responses using the Structural Framework and Personal
Framework. Consider what you learnt from the process and what you would
consider doing differently next time.

Structural Framework

The Structural Framework is used to analyse the style, symbolism and structural
elements of an artwork and how they contribute to the meanings and messages
conveyed. Students need to consider the following questions:

How has the artist applied and to what effect the art elements of line, colour, tone,
texture, shape, form, sound, light and time and the art principles of emphasis (focal
point), balance, movement, unity, variety, contrast, rhythm, repetition (pattern),
scale, proportion and space? How do the art elements and art principles contribute
to the meanings and messages of the work?
What materials, techniques and processes have been used? How is the
interpretation of the artwork shaped by the materials and the technical skills or
processes used by the artist? Is this due to inherent qualities of the materials or to
their application by the artist?
What is the distinctive style of the artwork and how does it contribute to the
meaning/s of the artwork? How does the work relate to other works in a similar style
or from the same philosophical, historical or cultural context?
What physical aspects or presentation of the artwork contain symbolic meaning?
This may include the use of art elements and art principles, the compositional
arrangement of subject matter, and the media, technique and processes used by the
artist. (VCE Art Study Design, 2017-2021)

Personal Framework


The Personal Framework is used to interpret how an artists experiences, feelings,
thinking and personal philosophy can be reflected in an artwork. It can also be used
to gain awareness of the effect of the viewers cultural background and experience
on the interpretation of the artwork. Students must consider the following
questions:

What relationship does the artwork have to the artists life and experiences? What
visual evidence supports this reading? Has the artist used a specific practice in
creating the artwork that may reflect their personal philosophy and ideas?

How might the artwork be linked to people, places and experiences of personal
significance to the artist such as the artists personal feelings, thinking, aspirations,
beliefs, desires or preoccupations, or to memories, dreams or a personal world of
fantasy? How are these represented in artworks?

How does the experience and background of the viewer affect the interpretation
of the artwork?

What are the symbols or metaphors explored or utilized in the artwork that
contribute to the meanings and messages?
(VCE Art Study Design, 2017-2021)
