To celebrate the exhibition It’s all in the detail: by the Australian Society of Miniature Art NERAM presents a workshop for primary school students to explore and create their own miniature works of art!
So – what classifies as miniature art? A miniature artwork can be no more than 40 cm perimeter and a miniature sculpture must be no more than 15 cm in any direction. The subject matter must be miniaturised, and the technique must be in keeping, so that there are no large or clumsy brushstrokes.
The exhibition at NERAM provides an insight into the modern version of miniature art, a world away from the tiny lockets and portraits of the past, opening the eyes of visitors to a new experience. It’s all in the Detail has inspired the artists to create unique and imaginative works within the miniature format, showcasing the detail that is an intrinsic part of miniature art.
Description of activity:
After a guided tour by our arts educator of the exhibition It’s all in the detail: by the Australian Society of Miniature Art students will be able to identify what classifies as miniature art as well as create a narrative around their chosen miniature artwork. To follow the art appreciation session, students are asked to create their own miniature artwork and create a miniature museum as a group. Students can take home their creation and set up the museum in their classroom or at school.
