Art Auction: Stimulus

Our school holds an art auction every 2 years, and every class needs to 'complete a class canvas' to raise money for our school.

This time around I thought we would focus on the life and Art of famous Australian John Olsen. Together we will be studying Olsen's life, art and techniques, creating a class canvas inspired by his approach to artmaking.







A biography written by his son (and gallery owner) Tim Olsen can be found here.



They have even named a Melbourne hotel after him!
