Join contemporary artist Kerrie Poliness for an interactive drawing workshop inspired by the formal and poetic possibilities of line, pattern and abstraction.

Kerrie will introduce students to her playful, DIY approach to creating large-scale instructional drawings through an inclusive process that encompasses collaboration, geometry and gesture.

In this online program, students will hear from Kerrie about her practice and observe a drawing demonstration using a set of instructions devised by the artist utilising the principles of geometry. This will enable students to create a unique drawing project fully adaptable for locations and materials available in either remote learning or on site contexts.

This 1-hour session will provide schools with a recorded artist talk (to be downloaded for later use) and students are welcome to send any drawings completed using Kerrie’s technique to create a special online exhibition to celebrate this workshop.

Kerrie Poliness is a Melbourne-based contemporary artist who is well known for her abstract instructional drawings inspired by conceptual art. She has been exhibiting and developing commissioned projects since the 1980s.
