SUMMARY:Art Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join arts writer Tess Maunder as she guides you through an introduction to arts writing structures\, focusing on artist bios and reviews. \n“Writing about visual art and wider culture is essential to thinking critically\, communicating with the public and integral to understanding\, evaluating and visually analyzing artworks. \nIt’s a great skill to develop and continue to hone throughout your practice. \nWriting doesn’t have to be complicated\, and actually writing without too much inflated language makes the most accessible text for readers.” \nJoin Tess Maunder as she discusses a range of different writing structures that you\, as an artist or a person interested in or currently working in the arts\, may need to know. \nThese include:\n1. Develop an exhibition review\n2. Develop an artist statement and/or professional bio \nThe workshop will be structured in three sessions. The first session will be largely listening to an overview of each type of text\, and best-practice surrounding text with a Q&A session. In the second session\, we will break into groups with a focus on either of the above choices and will together develop some writing. In the third session\, we will present our findings and something we learnt from the day. \nWorkshop timeline:\n9:45 AM — Arrive at NorthSite at Bulmba-ja\, 96 Abbott Street\, Cairns City 4870\n10:00 AM — First and second session\n12:30 PM — Light food\, tea and coffee provided\n1:00 PM — Third session\n2:00 PM — Concludes workshop \nThis workshop is usually valued at $160 per person but we are able to offer a discounted price of $45 per person.

SUMMARY:Your Story: Sequencing and narrative with personal photography
DESCRIPTION:Participants will work with a selection of 50+ existing personal images\, arranging their photographs in a folio of fresh image sequences. \n  \nWho\, What\, Why: \nPhotographers Sean Davey and Aishah Kenton of the Pacific Centre for Photographic Arts will guide you through a range of considerations and approaches to arrive at an intimate folio of personal photographs. \nEach participant will create a new series of photographs presented in a cohesive folio\, that communicates narrative and feeling solely through image. This activity demonstrates the power of storytelling through incidental photography of everyday life and shows that each of us has a unique position\, aesthetic\, and perspective to share. \n“This program gives people an awareness that each of us is likely to have a body of photographic work in our phones or in an old photo album on the shelf\, incidental work\, work that explores where they are\, their life. Through considered selection\, aesthetic and subjective considerations\, inclusion and reduction\, everyday photographs can be combined and bought into a new realm of communication.” Sean Davey \n  \nItems supplied: \nFolios\, paper\, pencils\, 5 hrs tuition\, tea\, coffee and lunch. \n  \nWhat to bring: \nPhysical photos – participants are required to bring 50 – 100 diverse photographs. \nSuggested content: old family photo albums\, film packets of travel shots\, found photo collections or digital images from your phone camera roll to be pre-printed as 6 x 4 images.

In Jamilah Haji’s drawing activity Happiness and Desire 2021\, children of all abilities can think about what makes them happy and what they wish for. \n  \nAPT10 Kids on Tour is free QAGOMA Touring program available to regional Queensland communities\, with thanks to generous support from The Tim Fairfax Family Foundation.\n \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nImage credit: Phuong Ngo / Australia b.1983 / Pattern Exchange 2021 / Commissioned for APT10 Kids with support from the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation / © The artist / Photograph: Chloë Callistemon\, QAGOMA
