Flower ShowThis teaching resource guides teachers and students through Penrith Regional Gallery’s exhibition suite Flower Show. The
teaching resource is aimed at High School students years 11 and 12, but can be easily adapted for other learning stages. The exhibition works are used as a way to introduce and critically discuss key concepts
in modern and
contemporary Australian art such as
diverse material practice, elements of design and audience participation.
The discussion of these concepts within the context of the exhibition will give students a greater awareness and appreciation of artistic approaches, Australian art history and art criticism. This presentation is best used in partnership with a visit to the exhibition and the online catalogue. The exhibition slides include images of selected artworks and installation views, descriptions and quotes from exhibiting artists. Students can use the slides to guide their interaction with the exhibition and gain a greater understanding of artist motivation, practice and intention. Slide4

Seasons - Barbara hanrahan
Barbara Hanrahan was an artist, printmaker and novelist with a relentless commitment to depicting moments of everyday life
Hanrahan
grew up in a household of resilient women, which shaped her world view and influenced her artistic practice; a practice often depicting women, and their relationships with
menHanrahan was first inspired to draw watching her mother work in the evenings as a fashion sketch artist for a department store. Her early interests were also greatly shaped by the richly decorated books within the family home, including the Bible, romantic poetry and Victorian illustrated books Slide11
Seasons - Barbara hanrahanArtist Practice
Hanrahan often worked intuitively. Beginning with a general idea, she worked directly onto the plate with no preliminary studies and, at times, worked on the plate or stone upside down so as to ‘free-up’ the creative process.
This manner of working engenders spontaneity and, combined with a level of detail bordering on opulence, generated images of a spiritual world grounded within the cyclical wonders of nature.
Hanrahan’s
unrelenting interest in the ordinariness of daily life has, in turn, resulted in insightful interpretations that are at once both celebratory and prosaic.

Seasons – Activities Research task
During Barabara Hanrahan’s time in art school, artists such as the Pre-Raphaelites, William Blake and Aubrey Beardsley influenced her developing practice, as did her exposure to the work and ideas of the young British pop artists such as Peter Blake and David
Hockney
while she lived in London.
1. Research two of the listed artists who influenced
Hanrahan’s work. Collect images from both the artists and list the similarities between their work and Hanrahan’s practice. Artmaking2. Research and create an ornamental illustration stylistically inspired by one of the following genres Fashion illustration60’s British pop art Victorian book illustrationSlide13

Hot House – Salote Tawale
As
the subject she stares at the
viewer without
flinching allowing them
to view her but on her own terms, almost belligerent in her gaze, offering a counter position to ethnographic imagery of the past, this is a self-portrait through cultural and social transferences - Salote
Tawale

Sourcing
the materials of aroma chemistry is challenging in itself, let alone being able to actually make something interesting with them. I have built a substantial library of single molecules and custom accords and an environment in which to safely work with
them
