Artists: Year 6 students, 2020
Medium: Various
Through a series of drawing activities, Year 6 students explored and responded to the Glitch Art of Sabato Visconti, connecting ideas and concepts to their experiences with glitching technology and media.
They experimented with the art elements of line, and colour and value to design and produce original artworks. With focus on tonal variation to imply 3D form, the students drew an assortment of landscapes, portraits and objects to convey their interpretation of glitch art concepts and themes.
The artwork in this exhibition was produced during a period of off-campus learning.

The artistic process
Here, five student artists explain the thought and creative processes they used to develop their artwork.
“I learnt the art element of shade. I used a piece of fabric to smudge the edges of the pencil. I understand glitch and how accidents can turn into masterpieces.”
Akrivi
“I discovered a technique where I draw the lines and then use the rubber to create the clean, almost shaved, outside. The flower was fun to draw because of the shadowing, light and general contrast.”
Ava L
“In my artwork I used a lot of depth and layers, I also used some pointillism and cross hatching. I found it really fun making a draft for my coffee painting by drawing because I got to experiment a lot!”
Esau
“I loved the technique and would use it more.”
Harrison
“I used the glitch style by showing the effect of the spinning ball – by bleeding the colour and the blurry writing and segment lines to try and give the illusion of the ball spinning.”
