Mentorship and Studio Master
Class 2008
In October 2008, four outstanding Visual Arts students from four different high
schools in New South Wales participated in the ARTside-in! Stage 3 Mentorship
Program at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The students attend schools which participated in Stages 1 and 2 of the
ARTside-in! outreach program run by the Public Programs Department of the
AGNSW and sponsored by the Caledonia Foundation.
Students from each participating school then applied to be part of the Mentorship. Only one student from each school was
selected.

I have participated in Stage 2 of the ARTside-In! program and was shocked by the amount of
effort, process and thought put into each artwork, which has definitely changed my view regarding the world of art. Art nowadays strikes
its audience with messages and challenges regarding the world we are in, and this has
definitely increased my interest in art.

I gained an insight into the art world which I found highly valuable as it
showed me possible career opportunities and lots of programs and
other interesting aspects of the art community which I will eventually take part in, or hope to take part in. I was able to better explain the role of art
galleries to my friends and colleagues and understand the demands and
importance of a number of occupations and roles the art gallery offers.

The Artside-In program allowed me to visit studios and art exhibitions that I
would not normally have the privilege of experiencing and this has also opened up new possible avenues for my future, also providing ideas for some aspects of
my Visual Arts major work.

What I gained from the Artside-in experience was invaluable, in terms of preparing me for my
Visuals Arts studies in the senior years and boosting my interest and perception of the art
world in general. I believe that the program gave me a certain edge over my peers in terms of art appreciation and resources. Looking back at the experience, I could recall many aspects of the program which left me with profound and
fond memories.
Anna
Artside-in was an amazing program in many ways, in that it was a way which showed that the art world and the gallery are aware of students who are truly interested in the art and its mechanism. Anna
The program introduced me to other students participating in the program and we have built and maintained friendly relationships as a result of this. I will always cherish the
experiences I've gained from participating in the program. The friendships, connections and physical evidence, e.g. books, sketches, etc - will last a very long time and retain
a constant practical, emotional and social part in my present and future life.

Printmaking Master Class 2008Printmaking Master Class 2008
In November 2008, twelve outstanding Visual Arts students from four different high schools in New South Wales participated in the ARTside-in! Stage 3 Printmaking Master Class at the National Art School
The students attend schools which participated in Stages 1 and 2 of the ARTside-in! outreach program run by the Public Programs Department of the AGNSW and sponsored by the Caledonia Foundation.
Bankstown Girls High School – Amalia Walkid, Sarah Elfoul, Claire Noble
Chester Hill High School – Angie Kim, Sida Kem, Kathrina Blanas
Doonside Technology High School – Ariane Talosig, Tracey Leigh-Smith, Simone Mitrevski
Tempe High School – Shirley Huynh, Kim Flores, Jessica Francica
AGNSW – Nick Hobbs, Yaeli Ohana, Patrick Hobbs ( intern, Australian Catholic University)
The highlight of the day was when we went outside to do the sketches as it was a good opportunity for us to explore the school and have that
feeling that we were actually attending the school.
Sida
Working and making art in the NAS workshop was different than working in my school environment because at school the space provided is not as huge as the printmaking room. Also, the number of students that were involved in the printmaking
workshop was not too many, this gave me and my colleagues a chance to communicate with the
artists and have freedom to move around without bumping into other students.
Amalia
Taking an idea to print: inking up, working into the inked surface, pressing and pulling the print .
Additive monotype process using water-soluble crayons and Perspex.
After lunch you just let us free to do our prints and just let us experiment with it. The experience was different to school because when we're at school we have a certain task to do and at the workshop we had the
opportunity to explore our ideas rather than sticking to one thing.
Sida
It was funny that day because I have never ever even considered abstract painting (not that I don’t like it, but more because I didn’t know how to), but that day nearly all my artworks which I produced were abstract! The girls and I were talking about it on the train back home and I just thought it was funny how it has
changed my practice a little.Angie
Subtractive monotype process using copper plates and overprinting
I benefited from these sessions because it helped me to brainstorm ideas and also gave me a chance to interact and get to know other
students from different schools.
I believe that I have gained a lot from participating in the workshop. It has offered a chance for me to consider different art making strategies (including printmaking, of course) and has taught me a lot in regards to
sketching as well!
