Step into a world of bold colours, shapes and patterns on a guided exploration of Margaret Preston.

Students will:

  • Identify and describe key art elements and principles in a range of artworks
  • Discuss how artists use the art elements and principles to communicate ideas and meaning
  • Analyse sources of inspiration and examine the role of artists across time and cultures
