STUDIO ARTS   \nAreas of Inspiration in the National Gallery of Victoria  \nThe National Gallery of Victoria o ers you a treasure-trove of objects, and ideas for inspiration. Today you have the unique opportunity to search the gallery for some of those gems of inspiration. As well as the expected, look for the unexpected as you move up through the gallery spaces.  \nFind at least four artworks that you consider would be a source of inspiration for you. Use the questions on inspiration at the end of this sheet for each of the artworks you have selected. Remember, do not touch the artworks and only pencils are tobe used in the gallery.  \nHere are a few ideas to start you on your Journey of inspiration.  \nFIRST FLOOR  \nMedieval and Renaissance sacred art – Turn left at the top of the escalator.  \nHere you will find Christian sculptures from the 15th and 16th Century.  \nThese works might be excellent examples for a study of human emotions. Take, for example, the early 16th century German limewood sculpture of the Pieta or Pity. In this gallery, you may also find the sculpture of an adoring mother holding a laughing child.  \nAsian Arts of China and Japan – Turn right at the top of the escalator.  \nAlso on this floor are the examples of Chinese and Japanese art and design.  \nLook for the Japanese warrior Armour (Yoroi) and note the materials it has been made from. Also, find Samurai costumes (Bushido) and read about their strong virtues and code of ethics. In this gallery, you might also find examples of contemporary Japanese designer bags and jewellery that use colours and portraits of actors from Japanese woodblock prints from earlier times.  \nIntroduction to conservation practice  \nWhile you are in the gallery begin to become aware of the way the lighting is used. What works have strong lighting and which have low lighting? Are di erent styles of lights used for di erent types of mediums. What has the exhibition designer done to protect all the artworks from damage by the public?  \n“You must plan to be spontDavidaneousHockney”  \nSECOND FLOOR  \n17th and 18th Century European Art and Design – Turn left at the top of the escalator  \nThe art of portraiture continues to flourish into the 21st Century. Currently, for example, the Saatchi Gallery in London is running a self-portrait competition titled “Selfies”. Have a look at the great variety of competition entries on [http://www.saatchigallery.com/sel](http://www.saatchigallery.com/sel)fie/  \nAs you enter the 17th and 18th Century gallery, you will see many portraits and self-portraits. Find one that inspires you to research further. Compare it with the self-portraits on the Saatchi website. How did people want to show themselves 200 years ago compared with how people choose to show themselves today? What part does wealth or social status play in a portrait today compared with those in this gallery?  \nOther possible sources of inspiration in this gallery include dramatic historic events. Can you find two di erent artists who painted “The Crossing of the Red Sea”? Both these paintings show how the Israelites, led by Moses, journeyed out of captivity in Egypt to the Promised Land. Pursued by the Egyptians to the red sea, Moses miraculously parted the waters, allowing his people to cross safely. How might these images relate to the current refugee crisis in Syria and other parts of the world. Like the artists of old, how can you use current political events to make dynamic artworks?  \n19th and 20th Century European Arts and Design – Turn right at the top of the escalator During these two decades, there was a fast-changing pace of styles and concepts in art.  \nLook carefully for two works that inspire you and write down answers to the list of questions that can be found below.  \nIntroduction to curatorial practice  \nIn the 17th and 18th Century European Art and Design collection, you will find furniture and paintings placed next to, or close to, each other. Why has the curator done this?  \nNotes ","cbCaiq0MKDJid3CX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq0MKDJid3CX","pdf",878147,"English","# FIRST FLOOR\n## Medieval and Renaissance sacred art\n## Asian Arts of China and Japan\n## Introduction to conservation practice\n# SECOND FLOOR\n## 17th and 18th Century European Art and Design\n## Introduction to curatorial practice\n# Questions on Inspiration","[{\"question\":\"What is the main task students must complete on this worksheet?\",\"answer\":\"Find at least four artworks at the National Gallery of Victoria that you consider sources of inspiration, then answer the inspiration questions for each selected artwork.\"},{\"question\":\"What should students consider during the gallery visit about lighting and conservation?\",\"answer\":\"Observe which artworks have strong versus low lighting, whether lighting differs by medium, and what the exhibition designer has done to protect artworks from public damage.\"},{\"question\":\"What information and prompts are required in the “Questions on Inspiration” section?\",\"answer\":\"Students record artist and artwork details and materials, describe visible elements and principles and techniques, identify the artwork’s style, explain personal inspiration and links to personal interests, and suggest what conceptual ideas they could develop.\"}]","VCE STUDIO ARTS - Areas of Inspiration in the National Gallery of Victoria | PDF",1789905593]
