FROM THE CLASSROOM VISUAL ART

Mia Williams (Year 12 2019) Waiting Room Installation

Lucy Noble (11M) Sun of Elton (appropriated from Son of Man by René Magritte) Digital photo

Working as artists in their own right, Year 12 students explore their own interpretation of the broad concept 'Fabric of Life’, refining their ideas in a process of sustained and persistent development The still and spare aesthetic of this installation, with its grouping of empty chairs positioned under strange and peculiar suspended forms, invites reflection on time spent waiting for hoped for futures

Applying of appropriation, Lucy uses a live model and a painted backdrop to recreate the imagery of Magritte’s painting Son of Man, adding a humorous and contemporary twist on the original The artist uses this play of similarity and difference between the new and the original image as a means to reflect on cultural shifts between past and present the technique
