Experience

Anne Kwasner has enjoyed teaching young people, adults and adults with disabilities at a community level for over 15 years. She works in a variety of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking, to ceramics. Her extensive experience is combined with her high credentials, including training at Julian Ashton Art School, The School of Colour and Design and East Sydney Technical College.

Achievements

Anne has exhibited in Sydney and overseas and is looking forward to getting back into teaching, and continuing her art practice after her studies.

Teaching style

Anne delivers a balance of teaching fundamentals while encouraging her students’ vision to come through. Through her classical training at Julian Ashton, she was able to focus on anatomy, life drawing and lots of still-life painting. However, Anne’s experience with her own work and further studies has broadened her approach. She loves drawing and will always be a firm believer in its importance in contemporary art practice.

Something unique

While Anne has a classical training background, much of her inspiration comes from self-taught artists. Aside from teaching, Anne facilitates art groups with such artists and promotes their particular kind of art to Australian audiences.
