Creative Educators: Colour Pop with Alice Oehr | NGV

Saturday 26 August 2017, 10.30–12.30pm

NGV AUSTRALIA, FEDERATION SQUARE

Be inspired by Melbourne designer and illustrator Alice Oehr to explore fresh and contemporary approaches to portraiture, vessel design and collage for the classroom. In conjunction with the NGV Permanent Collection, Alice will lead educators through her design process and invite participants to create their own contemporary artworks.

Oehr’s distinct colourful style often incorporates her love of food, pattern, collage and drawing. Many of her ideas have made their way onto textiles, homewares, magazines, books, and even once as a series of 6ft tall Ancient Egyptian statues for a marquee at the Spring Racing Carnival. Alice’s work has been sought-after commercially by clients local and international.

Creative Educators professional development programs present tailored art-making workshops based on contemporary teen interests and skills. These programs follow a series of teen school holiday workshops and lend unique insight into their processes and how to best highlight these skills in the classroom.
