Year 7 Visual Arts: Exploring the Elements of Art through Neurographica Drawing
This term, our Year 7 Visual Arts students have been exploring the fascinating world of Neurographica – a unique and meditative drawing method that encourages creativity, mindfulness, and emotional expression. As part of their introduction to the Visual Arts curriculum, students used this technique to investigate the fundamental elements of art: line, colour, shape, and tone.
Neurographica begins with freeform lines that flow across the page, representing thoughts and emotions in an intuitive and abstract way. From there, students connect these lines to form organic shapes and intersections, which are then transformed into visually captivating artworks through the careful use of colour and tonal shading. More than just a drawing activity, Neurographica offered students the opportunity to slow down, reflect, and engage with art in a deeply personal way. The results were not only visually stunning but also rich in individual expression.
We are incredibly proud of the thoughtful, imaginative and creative work our Year 7 artists have produced.
All About Art This Term - by Brooklyn Kennedy (Year 7)
In this semester, we have explored a wide range of different techniques to create beautiful art pieces, to express our ideas through line and colour. We started by exploring line work in our art, such as organic and geometric lines. We learnt about how to use different lines to display depth and contour in our drawings, and to create a sense of feeling portrayed in our art. Then we looked at colours on the colour wheel, which we then presented in our Neurographica Artworks. We learnt about using complementary colours to create balanced compositions.
